Faultlines

by Karine Polwart

Karine Powart has the kind of voice that commands attention. Rich and powerful, folky with a country, bluesy feel. On this her first and long overdue solo album she has written all the songs and they are great, proving her credentials as talented and thoughtful writer.  The opening track "Only One Way" is a taster for a very fine album indeed.

Review: KARINE Polwart’s debut solo album takes a different tack from the more traditional-based approach she adopts with Malinky. Here she moves toward a more contemporary sound - branching out with a pop, country or jazz feel at times - but without sacrificing the overall rootsy ambiance of the project.
Polwart has already proven her qualities as a singer many times over, but she also emerges on this disc as a humane and literate songwriter, with a genuine gift for conjuring up memorable lines and catchy melodies.
The largely acoustic instrumentation (guitars, electro-harp, double bass, drums, plus various guests) gives the music an airy but energised grace.
