The second album from Shetland's vocal sensations, and their debut on the acclaimed 'Greentrax' label. As a follow up to their much lauded debut album 'Indigo Skies' this one sees the group take massive steps ahead.

Shoormal comes from the Shetland dialect and means "where the shore meets the sea." With this CD it also means where great Scottish music meets the wider world. In just 12 tracks this rather large group -- I count eight in the cover picture -- does a great service for a living tradition. No, it is not an album of traditional songs and tunes. This CD is packed with new songs that show us how tradition lives. Every song in the folk and traditional canon was once a new composition and here we get a clutch of pieces that in 50 years could well be popular "traditional," too. I say that as a compliment to the composers and to the future singers who will have the good taste to keep singing these songs. - Nicky Rossiter, Rambles

Migrant, the second album from Shetland outfit Shoormal, is sheer class; smooth as velvet as an album can hope to be. For me, “joy absolute”. Roots Review
