A MIDWINTER SPELL

A Christmas EP you can listen to without hiding behind the sofa. An EP you can play to your friends without disgracing yourself and your family (in ten generations).

The Morrigan is one of the better new folk rock bands in the UK. Their sound is pretty much celtic folk music based with excellent flutes, ethereal female vocals by Cathy Alexander, some keyboards and a general warm acoustic sound. The songs here is some suitable older The Morrigan songs which is not traditional seasonal Christmas songs. That gives this EP a lot longer life than the Christmas period. But there is no denying that this EP has an winter warmer feeling with a festive spirit.

The quality of the songs are good throughout. The band sounds great, the vocals are excellent and the flute is really making this a worthwhile experience. There is not paint stripping great songs on this EP though. It is what it is; a festive cheer and party topper. Buy it safely without wearing a ski mask.
