fROOTS JULY 2009

“For their third album, Laura Cannell (recorders, fiddle) and Adrian Lever (bowed and prepared guitar) continue their progressive experiments and improvisations around tunes with roots in trad and early music. Though at times more inward-looking than hitherto, Wild Lament still converys the as-live essence of the urgency, intimacy and inventiveness of the duo’s music-making.”
