The Spell Songs musicians and singers are Karine Polwart, Julie Fowlis, Seckou Keita, Kris Drever, Rachel Newton, Beth Porter and Jim Molyneux.įor those that may be new to this delightful and moving project, I’ve included Billy’s opening introduction from his review below:īack in 2015, the author Robert Macfarlane published Landmarks, a “joyous meditation on land and language” (Observer, 2015). As mentioned by Billy Rough in his recent review of the album here, Spell Songs II: Let The Light In is a rather stunning collection of songs, bringing the spirit of the words and art of Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris vividly to musical life. Taken from their latest album Let The Light In, Spell Songs have shared a new video for the album track, Bramble.
