Centred on themes of dreams and the supernatural, with their vintage guitars accompanied by just Jon Thorne on double bass, Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage‘s fifth album, The Strangers’ Share, sees a return to the single microphone intimacy of their debut.
Mingling original material with traditional and covers, Thorne’s bass notes and a gathering tempo guitar run opens the title track with Ben on lead which draws on author Kevin Crossley-Holland’s 1997 retelling of the East Anglian ecology-based folk tale about our relationship with the land wherein tiny beings with long arms, legs and tongues, who, clad in green and yellow, would repay offerings of grain and the like by making the buds open and helping with harvest.
