Petrichor is the second album in for The Lost Trades.

Clearly not suffering from second album syndrome, this is again another gorgeous collection of vocal harmonies backed by acoustics

There may be a more American West Coast feel rather than English Folk this time round but that’s not a bad thing.

Already Keep My Feet Dry may be my favourite track of theirs. The emotional weight of the song with some stunning vocal work make it’s very special.

Possibly the album is too front loaded with big emotional songs about loss and longing (Old Man of the Sea, Keep my Feet Dry and Long Since Gone) but then you get the change of pace and the joyful Daffodils.

A simple song about friendship and guaranteed to make you smile, Daffodils also deserves extra bonus for managing to include ‘devil’s avocado’ in the lyrics. 

The almost acapella Valhalla closes the album and is a great showcase again for the band’s harmonies – Amazing what you can do with just three singers, each which their own distinct voice.

So looking forward to see them in concert again soon
