Saint Saviour - In the Seams (2014)

'In The Seams' is the stunning second album from Saint Saviour - the solo project of Becky Jones, previously lead singer with The RGB's and who fronted and co-wrote the singles on Groove Armada's Grammy nominated album 'Black Light'. Collaborating on this new album with Bill Ryder-Jones (The Coral), it is a marked departure from her 2012 debut 'Uncut' - stripping back and laying bare the beautiful song-craft of an artist clearly in her prime. The result is a selection of twelve delicate and heart-felt, folk-infused tracks woven into 'In The Seams' - full of lush strings, softly plucked guitars and tender vocals. For this new album, Becky set about writing about herself, her own experiences and emotions - "This album is all about me, my memories and my childhood," she says. Having grown up in the once great North-England market town of Stockton-on-Tees, Becky and Ryder-Jones, originally from Merseyside, successfully conjure a sense of the North - a particular place, a particular attitude. At times recalling Vashti Bunyan or Anne Briggs in its folk simplicity, together they create a release of aching beauty and sweet, melancholic nostalgia that firmly establishes itself amongst the esteemed cannon of quintes- sentially Northern folk balladry.
