it’s a damn fine piece of folk music. There’s a fresh edge to it, perhaps
derived from the wealth of catching and sometimes deceptive time signatures
that pervade their work, possibly from the combination of accordion, cello and
bodhran.  Whatever the reason, this is an
album that grabs your attention and holds it for the duration. Kiss The
Mistress are Ginny Davis (vocals, cello, fiddle) John Ramirez (button
accordion, melodeon, backing vocals) and Roy Jones (bodhran, cajon, backing
vocals)

The album opens with a ‘Priddy Pookah’ a tune inspired by a
shape-shifting sprite capable of taking a variety of terrifying forms.
That in itself gives you a good view of the band’s music – constantly shifting
and changing. ‘Slipstream’ is a perfect example of this – you’re unlikely
to find their music predictable or complacent. When they find an idea that
works it’s unlikely to last three or four minutes without taking some intersting
and sometimes surprising changes of direction. And that's a large part
of the beauty of this music.

Most of their tunes wriggle and squirm making them hard to pin down.
The traditional song ‘Little Musgrave’ (a folk rock favourite in another guise)
assumes new energy and direction given the Kiss The Mistress treatment
and led in by some superb cello.  ‘Middleton Moor’ is an evocative piece that sounds
as though it should form the backdrop to a ghostly tale of ancient times.
 ‘Parapraxis’ is a brilliant piece of rock-cello if such a invention exists,
whatever, it’s an inspired piece - just listen.

Whichever track you choose you’ll find both unrestrained
energy coupled with barely bridled fervour. There’s exceptional skill combined
with extreme inventiveness. This  album bursts with drive and gusto.
This is music that demands to be heard.
The tunes on ‘About Time’ – designed to take the listener on a journey
through the British nation, across into Brittany and back to deepest,
darkest Suffolk – whether traditional or self-penned, ultimately have a
stealthy beauty that weaves an enticing spell about you.
