"An increased profile occasioned by supporting Fairport Convention a couple of tours back has given this already-confident partnership an extra injection of confidence, resulting in an even bolder demeanour to that difficult third album ... So it's probably no surprise to find them on The Innocent Left imparting their latest batch of self-penned creations with a rounded production (...) that incorporates a generally fuller sound ... Jamie's jaw-dropping guitar adventures and Katriona's fiery fiddle work remain in firm focus (...), but in the main these elements just occur as natural signatures within the overall considered texture of the arrangements. There's also a pronounced newgrass/country feel to tracks like the gorgeous, lilting Silver Screen, the instrumental Over Snake Pass, and Shuffle And Deal ... The Innocent Left is an accessible collection that should readily enable the duo to build on their already well-established fanbase"nuine and seamless fusion ofdisparatemusical traditions".
