"The pervasive, nay dominant musical climate here is a kind of arty-jazz-cabaret, almost a latter-day Kurt Weill with its occasional chamber-orchestral eruptions but also making deliberate sidesteps into edgy techno. For the folk traditionalist, therefore, much of Through That Sound will be difficult and challenging - even alien. So you need to approach the album with differently-tuned ears".

"Ever stretching her musical boundaries, Carthy has teamed with Fife musician/composer Ben Seal on a flamboyant, impassioned, fitfully exhilarating work. No trad here, just rampant self-exploration that flits from "The Black Queen"'s disquieting menace to siren voices on her cover of big band standard "Mean To Me". String quartet Mr McFall's Chamber add a chanson feel; Seal contributes arrestingly odd arrangements".
