‘Gifted multi-instrumentalists, singers and writers.’
Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2
‘Beautiful, uncanny and subtly political songs.’
The Guardian
‘This mixture of the homegrown and the exotic, the old and the new, is revealing. It helps to explain just why the Askew Sisters are one of the most refreshing and exciting acts in folk music, and why Enclosure is set to be one of the albums of the year’
Folk Radio UK
‘Enclosure is an album that very few other musicians could have made, partly because it transcends considerations like ‘traditional’ and ‘contemporary’ without losing sight of the important issues it highlights. It is full of apparent contradictions that resolve into fully realised ideas: it always feels intimate and yet its themes are universal, it is steeped in the history of place and society and yet it constantly looks to the future, and it is an album about captivity that revels in its own musical freedom.’ Folk Radio UK
‘Expansive, pristine and strikingly modern, whilst remaining true to the tradition.’
EDS
‘A powerful new album.’ The Independent
