This is a lovely relaxing (in the most part!) and slightly dreamy CD. Shoormal originate from the Shetland isles & their name, I think, refers to the place in between the sea and the land so I could be pretentious & say thus their music lies between mainstream folk & Shetland folk! So much of Island music is a bit of an acquired taste but not the material here. Shoormal feature three female chanteuses, each with distinctive voices, backed up by an excellent band of 5 talented musicians. The CD as a whole is very restful with some idyllic three-part harmonies. For me the track "Turning Tide" stands out - the CD is worth buying for this alone and it also has the advantage of introducing you to some Shetland Dialect (Foula?). Take a chance, buy this, you'll love it!
