Not many bands can count Radiohead, Robert Wyatt, Elvis Costello, Ewan McGregor and Nick Hornby amongst their fans, but The Unthanks occupy a unique place in music. Northumbria sisters Rachel and Becky Unthank are unsentimental young storytellers outside of time, forging links between folk worlds old, new and other.

Staunch traditionalism and sonic adventure ought to be polar opposites, yet they are easy bedfellows in the gentle hands of The Unthanks; the British counterpart to the leftfield folk leanings of Sufjan Stevens, Bonnie Prince Billy and Fleet Foxes. Their previous albums The Bairns and Here's The Tender Coming featured in almost every UK poll for Albums of the Year and their follow-up album Last is sure to do the same.
