A north London folk face with a taste for loric song, a Semitic vibe and instruments which go plink-puuunnng.
It's rather good. This is not the folksy "musing" beloved of neo-hippies nor the rigid threnody of a world-wearied traditionalist. Rather, Lee is interested in the way old oral texts can be teased into new life with unexpected instrumental textures and arrangements. A further good sign, should you need one, is the production involvement of John Wood.
