This is the debut album from O'Hooley & Tidow, though some of you will be familiar with Belinda O'Hooley from her time with Rachel Unthank and the Winterset. The Unthanks loss (and I think it is considerable) is our gain, as she has teamed up with Heidi Tidow to produce a rich and rewarding album. This is not a Belinda O'Hooley solo album though. Heidi Tidow is a full and equal part of the relationship. Apart from the traditional 'Spancil Hill' and 'Banjololo' all he songs here were written by the duo. And what songs! from the beautiful and genuinely touching 'Too Old to Dream' to the social commentary of 'All stand in Line', they are songs with something to say, but not in a hectoring or lecturing way. Often the lyrics are more impressionistic than narrative, but there are stories to be told, and they are told well. Then there are the musical arrangements. Delecate where they need to be, but also rousing, dark, and beautiful, often all at the same time. Underpinned by imaginative piano, they are lifted by great vocal harmonies, and textured with carefully crafted string quartet arrangements. This will undoubtedly be one of my albums of the year, and it's only february! The sepia tones on the album cover are a good clue to what lies within. If you can handle your music dark and folky this is a great album.

This is a wonderful album and on the back of their recent UK tour of festivals, of which I had the fortune and pleasure of seeing these lovely gentle ladies twice, makes this album a happy reminder of those times. the album is crammed full of dreamy vocals, soaring piano melodies and yearning, saturnine string arrangements that are swept along on a storybook of songs from times of auld. being a collator of music and living a life seeking out new styles and ever hopeful of unique sounds, these ladies bring an originality to a music industry that is unfortunately steeped in production line monotone music and that only occasionally produces albums that spark excitement and emotion like this. It is a stunning album and from the many albums I have heard and bought this year, Silent June is in my opinion far and away the best. a beautifully crafted gem of an album that is just waiting for your senses to discover.

O'Hooley and Tidow's Silent June (my constant companion for several weeks now) is truly wonderful - each track is a masterpiece of good songwriting, delightful vocals and musical innovation (crossing folk and classical boundaries) and the whole album fits together beautifully. Unsurprisingly, given that one half of the duo was in Rachel Unthank and the Winterset, it's reminiscent of The Unthanks' fine album The Bairns, but in my view is even better.

depressing CD
The only decent track is the one featured by Mike Harding on his radio 2 folk music programme. The majority of songs were written by the performers and are dismal dirges. Read more
