Rubus' debut album Nine Witch Knots is now available. Listen to tracks and buy your copy here!
"The combination of viola, guitar, concertina and drums offers a dream-team accompaniment to Portman’s beguiling presence, with the occasional vocal harmonies of Christi Andropolis providing moments of exceptional beauty.
The subtle and intricate acoustic guitar of David Newey and the rattling and authoritative drumwork of Will Schrimshaw supply the perfect foundation for ‘Golden Ball’, ‘Watchet Sailor’ and ‘Rolling Of The Stones’, whilst elsewhere Andropolis’s fiddle adds atmosphere, a sense of suspense and suitable colour to ‘Cornish Young Man’, ‘Willie’s Lady’ and the album’s closer, ‘Sowing Song’.
It’s a magnificently assured debut."
Danny Moore Rock & Reel 2008
‘Bravely sparse arrangements…A bold, imaginative effort’
