"Residing in the region of classic Americana and US folk (Townes Van Zandt, et al), Blek's previous albums have been themed around various topics, most recently, his 2019 album, Thistle & Thorn, which was described by The Irish Times as an "ode to nature" - and Embers is no different ... If an artist's fifth album could be said to constitute a body of work, then Blek's creativity is in very good, possibly rude health".
