THERE are very few singer-songwriters whose words you await with bated breath, but Karine Polwart is that rare creature.She doesn't disappoint here, either, pontificating on technology and warfare in Better Things, welcoming her baby Arlo to the world on Rivers Run and singing of a mother lamenting a son dying of Aids in Firethief. Polwart does elegant, pained, articulate sorrow better than anyone. Her voice drips with it, so that even when she is trying to be jaunty, as on The News - which giddily borrows the intro to Mr Sandman - she sounds as if the levity is laced with gloom.And the album is almost bookended by sorrow, the second track Sorry being a piercing discussion on the nature of remorse, the penultimate song Sorrrowlessfield, a reference to a place in the Scottish Borders so named, the story goes, because it was the only farm in the area to bring home all its men alive from the Battle of Flodden Field in 1513.Musically, This Earthly Spell retains the folky simplicity and slightly dark harmonies which have driven her other work.The only possible quibble could be that Polwart set the bar impossibly high for herself with her recent album of traditional folk, The Fairest Floo'er, released only a matter of weeks ago. (Paul Taylor, www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk)Folk pop très délicate.
