This Glasgow duo, comprising singer Iona Macdonald and guitarist Paul Tasker, presents a seamless mix of folk, blues, country and Americana on their full-length debut, with the folk factor ultimately pushing through prominently. Macdonald’s voice is pretty and pure and the arrangements fall on the mellow side of the roots spectrum. Their love of 60’s folk trailblazers Pentangle comes to the fore on the track Happiness with its beguiling vocal melody and Bert Jansch-style guitar. ***
