Scarlet Thread - Never Since (2013)

The third album from this band from Finland.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and violin.

Three guests added keyboards, flute and female vocals.

Seven years had passed since the last album. A violin driven instrumental album which did not impress me when I reviewed it last month.

There is still a lot of violins here. Some flutes has been added too. The music is more songs orientated folk rock this time with the emphasis of good songs.

The big, big difference is the addition of Ms. Mari Vuortitie's great vocals. Those vocals is pretty much dominating this album.

The rest of the band is also doing a good job on some fairly good songs. Fairly good songs but still a bit unremarkable songs. 

The result is still a good album and one to check out if female vocals driven folk rock is your thing.
