“The Unthanks are capable of such beauty that sometimes I can hardly bear to listen to them.” Martin Freeman
With their 11 piece band, The Unthanks mark the Autumn release of their new album, Sorrows Away. Having previewed Sorrows Away at shows this Spring, the audience response was an early indication that the record is at the very least going to breeze the daunting task of following up their BBC Folk Album Of The Year, Mount The Air.
The Unthanks tells stories that capture children. They make music cutting edge enough to be BBC 6 Music regulars. They can equally be found on BBC Radio 2, 3 and 4, reframing history and drawing together the worlds of folk, jazz, orchestral, electronic and rock music.
Billed as more joyful and uplifting than previous Unthanks' records, Sorrows Away is perhaps both the pinnacle and yet just the latest in their story so far. “There are few times when you discover a band and they stalk immediately to the heart of everything you love and hold dear.” Maxine Peake
“They run from the very root of folk music to the very tip of the branch.” Elvis Costello
“It’s quite a rare thing now. They’ve really got everything you could want from music. And I’m very fussy.” Robert Wyatt
