The folk revival of the fifties interpreted traditional songs with rigorous detail, and the young Yorkshire folksinger Stephanie Hladowski and the Cambridge acoustic guitarist C Joynes deploy the same unfashionably sincere and Spartan reverence.
On eleven traditional tunes, Hladowski’s willo the wisp vocal recalls the translucent purity of the folk figurehead Shirley Collins.
Joynes’ meditative plucking occupies the space where folk music turns shamanically psychedelic, the 15th century carol The Bitter Withy a brain-buzzing primal drone through which Hladowski cuts her unswerving swathe.
