You must listen to this. It's English folk music, but definitely not of the finger-in-one-ear variety.
Hampshire-based singer Ruth Theodore writes angry and trenchantly witty songs where the personal and the political are entangled like a bouquet of barbed wire. It's not just the songs, though, brilliant as they are - it's Theodore's extraordinary voice. Best tracks in this collection are "Grounded" and the raging "Rash" (it really defies description: think Joni Mitchell meets Crass).
