Sounds Like.......More Welshness with Bec Wood and Beth Gibson, here moonlighting from their day jobs with the Hot Puppies. They specialize in serenely muscular two-and three-part harmonising, old-timey gospel from the Coen Brothers hugely influential O Brother, Where Art thou?, country crooning and torch balladry. Bec Wood launches without fanfare into Anyone Who Had A Heart and proves an effortlessly accomplished singer with a huge range. She's also emphatically knocked-up, noting that playing the guitar is becoming ever more difficult as it gets further away from her body.
Accompanied by minimal, bordering on skeletal, instrumentation, a shaker or plucked bass viola and a third young lady (that no amount of dogged detective work has managed to identify), they glide from Julee Cruise's Lynchian narcotic drift to the husky chanson of French Song. Beth sits at the piano and sings softly. These are a quietly confident pair of performers ably demonstrating their ability without any vulgar showboating. As they unhurriedly switch instruments a mood of comfortable melancholia descends upon the audience and it's really quite enchanting. An encore is demanded and the trio return to revisit 'Down In The River To Pray' and it's just as lovely second time around.
