On NANCY ELIZABETH's successor to "Battle and Victory", she adopts more of a neo folk stance as opposed to the creative folk rock that dominated half of that debut. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, and I particularly enjoy her piano work on the opening instrumental and the CURRENT 93 esque "Ruins", but this rarely hits her previous highs. Mesmerizingly pagan at times (the chanty "Feet of Courage", and the jauntily haunting "Lay Low"), it's also soporific at others ("Tow the Line", "The Act", "Winter Baby" ), which means that, although accomplished, it represents more of a step back than marking time in anticipation of future achievements. Still her voice, thoughtful lyrics and some of the arrangements hath wrought a solid opus that could have been deemed promising if it came first.
