Delicate, powerful beauty (January 21, 2008)
Mythago from Tinkerscuss is rare, rich treasure of story and myth with delivered with refined atmosphere and edge. Mythago encompasses
depth, power and force delicately applied. Just a touch is all that's
needed to reach out and enthrall the listener. There is within this
album a mix of love, fear, darkness and light that carries a dreadful
beauty.
 To Make You Stay is gentle soft seduction, while The Cursing Song has a guitar slithers up and down your spine. And their outstanding version of Long Lankin will linger in your head for a long time. Fine Horseman
is magic - probably best listened to in front of a single candle in the
dark - just to make sure you're spooked. An album of passionate music.
Tinkerscuss
is Bryony Holden (vocals, gothic harp, congas) and Erin Holden
(acoustic guitars)- their music flows with the simplicity of richnesss,
clean and unadorned. Long may they keep it that way.
