14 Days (Plunkett)

Review by Dave "Angles" Gimble

The debut album from Plunkitt 'Promise Me Kill me' was released in 2000 and since then the husband and wife team have kept a low profile. Now however, they are recording again and have recently released '14 days', their second offering of traditional Folk-Rock.

Though, in terms of music, there is a very strong and obviously folkie influence, regretfully the vocals tend to lean more towards the light rock sound and this seams to bring a greater rock feel to the album. Having said that, it is impossible to find fault with the quality of vocal or musical abillity on display with moments of folk brilliance from Ian on guitar and wonderful little interludes of piano from Lara.

Songs of note on the album are '21st century', though only really for the guitar part as the vocals failed to deliver what I expected, and 'Sun shines', by far the pick of the bunch this song has an almost Nick Drake-esque quality to the sound.

Though this album delivers on many counts I am afraid to say that it will not be appearing on my album list as I found the rock elements off-putting, not my thing, but none the less an accomplished and well thought through album.
