Rated 10/10

A beautiful, earnest exploration of what it meant (and means) to celebrate the beginning of summer, as it once was celebrated on May 1st. A very English album, attempting to keep alive traditions that many people know only vaguely. Knapp's delicate, affected vocals are a perfect vehicle for describing those pagan notions of fecundity.
