DESCRIPTION TRACK LIST
Now available on vinyl for the first time! Limited to 500 copies. Originally released in 2012, it was one of the Mail On Sunday's albums of the year.
Diversions Vol. 3 contains the music created by The Unthanks for the Tyneside Cinema commissioned film of the same name, Songs from the Shipyards – a beautiful and moving film, tracing the story of shipbuilding and is a studio album that documents a non-sequential 'best of' the live soundtrack. This exquisitely realised record is so heavy with a sense of time and place that one might be on the docks. Sorrowful and magical, a riveting, rigorously unsentimental yet deeply moving experience.
The Unthanks are never better than when singing about dignity in the face of adversity. Every crushed knuckle and slide down a slipway is elegantly evoked. There really is no better folk band in the land.
