From uplifting festive ░▐ ▌░ celebrations æHang FireÆ, æHidden MeaningsÆ and previous ░▐ ▌░ single æSnow AngelÆ, (a wholesome, nostalgic piece that ░▐ ▌░ paints a wonderful picture of a small-town family home in the ░▐ ▌░ lead-up to Christmas Day) through to the more tender ░▐ ▌░ æChristmas MoonÆ and æMaryÆs CariadÆ, itÆs pointedly, made up ░▐ ▌░ of twelve emotive tales with beautifully heart-warming, ░▐ ▌░ classic instrumentation, dexterous musicality and layered ░▐ ▌░ harmonies. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Lead single 'Midnight Chorus' begins with gentle strings and ░▐ ▌░ delicate keys, landing and gradually building like the first ░▐ ▌░ snowflakes of winter, and grows into a grandiose pop ballad. ░▐ ▌░ There are key nods to looking back to simpler times, a focus ░▐ ▌░ on family and taking stock of difficult times as well as the ░▐ ▌░ good things. æDear LordÆ describes a simple wish to meet a ░▐ ▌░ hero (Dolly Parton) at a time of sadness and isolation. At ░▐ ▌░ times, a giddy excitement shines through, both in their ░▐ ▌░ opportunity to work together and in the material that comes ░▐ ▌░ from it, a warmth and truthfulness for a most wonderful, ░▐ ▌░ sometimes heart-breaking, time of year. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Kathryn Williams and Carol Ann Duffy first met whilst ░▐ ▌░ performing at the Niddfest Festival in 2016. Long-time ░▐ ▌░ admirers of each otherÆs songwriting and lyrics, they became ░▐ ▌░ fast friends. Writing at first in a small hut at Moniack Mhor ░▐ ▌░ (ScotlandÆs Creative Writing Centre) and then from their ░▐ ▌░ homes, they both had input into each otherÆs words and music. ░▐ ▌░ These tracks are true, equal collaborations and reflect their ░▐ ▌░ ease and delight in composing together. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ▄▄▄┌─────────────┐▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░▐ ▌░ ▒▒▒│ marr │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░▐ ▌░ └─────────────┘ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ indie . pop . rock . shoegaze . dream . jangle . twee ░▐ ▌░ chamber . noise . c-86 . college . goth . post rock ░▐ ▌░ kraut . post punk . darkwave . alternative . lo-fi ░▐ ▌░ country . americana . folk . folk/rock . psychedelic rock ░▐ ▌░ progressive rock . metal . heavy metal . hair metal ░▐ ▌░ hard rock . math rock . grunge . classic rock . aor ░▐ ▌░ southern rock . west coast . punk rock . hardcore . garage ░▐ ▌░ avantgarde . classical . electronic . new wave . ambient ░▐ ▌░ synthpop . leftfield ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ░▌░ ░ █ █ ░ ░▐░ ▌░ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ░▐ ▌░ ░█ █░ ░▐ ▌░ █ ░ ▒ ░ ░ ▒ ░ █ ░▐ ░ ▌░██ ░ ▒█████░ ░█████▒ ░ ██░▐ ░ ▒ ░ ▌░█ ░ ███▓ ▓██ ▒ ▒ ██▓ ▓███ ░ █░▐ ░ ▒ ░██ ▌█▓ ████ █▒ ▒█ ████ ▓░▐ ██░ ░██████░ ███ █ █ ███ ░██████░ ██████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████ ▒███ ███▒ ██ █ █ ██ ▒███ ███▒ ████ ████████ ▒ █ █ ▒ ████████ ████ ████░ ███████░ ░░ █ █ ░░ ░███████ ░████ █████░ ████▒ ▒ ▓█ █▒ ▒█ █▓ ▒ ▒████ ░█████ █████░ ██████████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████████ ░█████ ▒██████ ░ ███████▒ ████▒▒█ █▒▒████ ▒███████ ░ ██████▒ ░ ███░ ███ ░ * █▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓█ * ░ ███ ░███ ░ █░ ███ █░ *** * * █▒█▒▒██████▒▒█▒█ * * *** ░█ ███ ░█ ████ ██ * ████████ ████████ * ██ ████ ████████ * *** ░ ░██████ ██████░ ░ *** * ████████ █████ ** ░ ████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ████ ░ ** █████ ▒█████████████▒▒ ░░ ░░ ▒▒█████████████▒ ░▓██████████▒ ░░ ░░ ▒██████████▓░ ▒█████ ░░ ░░ █████▒ ███ ███ ██ ██ ▒█ █▒ https://www.deezer.com/us/album/275568142
