Thread Name: Unthanks et al. Why begrudge success?
Subject: RE: Unthanks et al. Why begrudge success?
They lost something when Belinda O'Hooley's acid drop comments and parlour piano went IMHO, but they're still a very strong act. Anyone who describes Rachel Unthank as a weak singer needs to clean their ears out. The edge they had in their early stuff has been replaced by some blissed out string production, and that's an honest opinion.

I would be good to hear future albums given a rawer, less obviously commercial sound.
