Music - Day of the Lone Woolf
The latest Astrid Williamson album ‘day of the loan woolf’ has been in my cd player for the last few weeks. I didn’t much listen to it when first purchased but it really has grown on me.
Astrid was strutting her stuff in the mid 1990s with the brit pop band Goya Dress) and has released 3 solo albums since they broke up. I’ve purchased all 3 of them this being the latest and this Shetland singer/song righter is intriguing
The Guardian got it spot on with the tone of this cd. Its full of ‘brave and powerful confessionals of a lonely sexual
predator.’ From Tori Amos like piano with more guitars to pop and then radiohead influences this album is a grown up cracker with a nice production. From slow tracks to upbeat pop songs and lush instrumental soundscapes this disc has it all. Her voice reminds me a little of a none country and less harsh version of Maria McKee but maybe a little lighter also.
