★★★★
TWIN SISTERS Charlotte and Laura Carrivick have just released their seventh album with twelve original tracks. Using various stringed instruments and sharing vocal arrangements the songs are generally inspired by legends from the West Country.
The opening song In the Oldstock Churchyard tells the story of a curse on a church in a village near Salisbury. There are two songs, 1912 House and War Games, which have a WWI theme but also seem sadly relevant today.
