I can t decide if I m more impressed by the quantity or the quality of Ange Hardy s work. The ink is barely dry on Esteesee, her 2015 exploration of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and she s back with her fourth album formalising her work in partnership with Lukas Drinkwater. Findings is a term for the linking pieces in jewellery that join the settings and stones together Ange knows about this stuff and provides the theme of this album. And I do find it refreshing to find a themed album that sticks to its central idea all the way through without forcing it down your throat. For that alone Findings is a wonderful record.
In the opening track, The Call/Daughters Of Watchet/Caturn s Night , the link is the railway that linked Watchet to the mines of the Brendon Hills but it is also four love stories. The final track, Fall Away returns to Watchet and the four daughters of the town now that the mines and the railway and the fishing are gone. Findings mixes original and traditional material, often in one song. So The Pleading Sister builds a song around the single verse of Little Boy Blue and Bonny Lighter-Boy sets a new tune to a traditional set of words.
The (more or less) traditional pieces are The Trees They Do Grow High , The Berkshire Tragedy and The Parting Lullaby and I can tell that you re working out the findings each of these songs. The original songs cover a multitude of relationships but I will single out Invisible Child as a masterful example of Ange and Lukas songwriting simple and direct but powerful and moving.
Sometimes Ange and Lukas perform alone but there is a small band of Archie Churchill-Moss, Ciaran Algar and Evan Carson with additional vocals from Nancy Kerr, Kathryn Roberts and Steve Pledger. Even so, the accompaniments are restrained and the songs are out front where they should be. Not to belittle its predecessors but Findings could be Ange s best album.https://www.dibpic.com/uploads/posts/2021-05/1620364455_ange-hardy-lukas-drinkwater-findings-2016.jpg
