Here's The Tender Coming (W/Book) (Uk)

2009 album from the Geordie Folk inventors formerly known as Rachel Unthank & the Winterset. Here's the Tender Coming builds on the incomparable sound that has earned them admirers from the ranks of Radiohead, Portishead, Robert Wyatt, Ben Folds, Nic Jones, Ewan McGregor and Nick Hornby. Released in 2007, the Bairns became one of the most successful Folk albums of the last 10 years, culminating in the richly deserved Mercury nomination a year later. This new album and line-up adds strings, horns and most arrestingly of all, drums and percussion for a much more developed, layered sound this time around. This is an album of depth and joy and the critics are already lining up to praise it. The support for this group amongst a hugely influential and hugely diverse number of artists, critics, journalists, and celebrities is immense and this album will once again garner incredible support from these fans.
