Smoke Fairies - 'Carried In Sound'

7/10

Throughout their tenure, Chichester's Smoke Fairies have been one of the more immersive names on the contemporary folk scene. Blending their conventional aesthetic with a far more atmospheric guise than most has been their calling card over the years, a style that has brought them untold acclaim since they first emerged. And now looking to continue that impressive streak, they return with their eagerly-awaited sixth studio album 'Carried In Sound', a record brimming with wondrous ideas throughout.

Keeping very much in the tender and emotive vein that has proven so successful throughout their career, 'Carried In Sound' delivers more of that warm and passionate direction we love them for. Creating this beautifully engaging aura around their vibrant vocals from beginning to end, their newest outing is another strong and confident addition to their ever-growing repertoire, brimming with tantalising flavours as often as possible.

Pursuing just enough adventurous spirit to keep them enchanting, while not turning their back towards their core sound, 'Carried In Sound' marks another vital moment in their shimmering aesthetic once again. Coupling wonderfully with the autumnal seasons, they return in fine form throughout.
