"For All Our Sins" is a sublime new album from Exeter-based duo Sound of The Sirens.
There’s a certain transcendent magic that happens when two contrasting voices coalesce in perfect harmony – think The Everly Brothers, Simon & Garfunkel or George Jones and Tammy Wynette. Imperceptibly, they can raise you from the temporal to the spiritual in the breath of a song, and set you floating among the firmament infused with a sense of wonder – just like Sound of the Sirens.
The duo, Abbe Martin and Hannah Wood, dovetail beautifully on a beguiling acoustic pop collection replete with lyrical sensibility on tracks like the first single, Smokescreen (“Living beyond the darkness others create for us, and growing into something positiveâ€), The Circus (“When everyone wants something from you, who can you trust?â€) and Mr Wilson (“The chemistry of a new relationship, unsure of where it is going, but knowing that you want more from itâ€).
