About this deal

Thank you so much; it’s been a real pleasure to talk to you. One last tiny thing (which is more about my ignorance than anything else). What’s a coke oven? B: [Laughs] Me and Rachel are ridiculously cooperative with each other as sisters. Everyone in our band has such strong opinions, which is brilliant, and you know, sometimes it can get a bit tense, but essentially we’re all just passionate about the music, so I think that contributes to where we get to in the end. a b c Kidman, David (27 April 2020). "The Untnanks – Diversions Vol. 5: Live and Unaccompanied". Folk Radio UK . Retrieved 28 April 2021. The second “new” song, following The Old News, is Rachel Unthank’s instant classic, The Isabella Colliery Coke Ovens. It’s a sliver of bucolic beauty in which Unthank recounts a Tyneside walk among the remnants of the region’s steel ovens and reflects on the way that moments of pleasure can carry us through hard times.

The band were nominated for three further BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2008 (Best Band, Best Live Act, Horizon Award), and were successful in one category, receiving the Horizon Award at the ceremony in The Brewery, London. [20] The Unthanks [ edit ] Here's the Tender Coming [ edit ] B: I think, as you say, we talk about the mood. We’ll start with the song, and work out some harmonies, then we’ll talk about the mood and atmosphere, and then Adrian does all the arranging. Poor Adrian then has to come to us at the end for approval. We say, “We love it!” or “Not quite sure about this!” [laughs]. That’s probably quite a hard position for him to be in. a b Steve Drayton (4 September 2009). "BBC Introducing: New name and sound for The Unthanks". BBC Local/Tyne . Retrieved 15 February 2016. The Unthanks have graced us with their most extraordinary record to date. It is a tonic to lift the spirits and marks a momentous moment in the career of one of the greatest folk bands in the UK today. The Sandgate Dandling Song is a North East standard from the perspective of a boatman’s wife. She’s bobbing her child on her knee and singing sweetly to comfort it yet thinking all the while of her husband’s failings and propensity for drunken violence. It’s sung tenderly and with palpable love by Rachel Unthank, giving the listener a sense of conflicted feelings on the part of the narrator, despite the abuse. The Unthanks have added a verse, written and sung by Adrian McNally (who doesn’t appear in promo shots) from the perspective of the boatman, in which he sounds soaked with regret and determined to change, to not follow in his father’s footsteps, although it feels too late.The Unthanks have teased us recently with talk of their upbeat, pop album, but to some extent it’s true. “It’s more hopeful and warm, less melancholy, which isn’t to say there’s no deaths! But I think we were drawn to songs that gave us comfort and made us feel more hopeful.”, explains Rachel Unthank. “There’s not quite as much outright despair.” Tell me about the lyrics in Old News. They slowly whittle down, so it just becomes Old News / Whole Truth at the very end.

Using the traditional music of the North East of England as a starting point, the influence of Miles Davis, Steve Reich, Sufjan Stevens, Robert Wyatt, Antony & The Johnsons, King Crimson and Tom Waits can be heard in the band’s fourteen records to date, earning them a Mercury Music Prize nomination and international acclaim along the way. Mount the Air was the winner in the best album category in the 2016 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. [5] [6] [7] Memory Box and Archive Treasures 2005–2015 [ edit ]Neil Spencer (28 October 2012).
