Stone Angel - Circle Of Leaves

Review by Courtney Bolton

Stone Angel's album Circle of Leaves is a hauntingly beautiful collection of songs that transport the listener to a mystical and ethereal realm. The band's unique blend of Celtic and folk influences creates a sound that is both ancient and modern, and their mastery of traditional instruments such as the bodhrán, fiddle, and tin whistle is evident throughout the album. The haunting vocals of lead singer Siobhán Owen add an otherworldly quality to tracks like "The Dreamer" and "The Lark in the Morning," while the instrumental pieces such as "The Piper's Path" showcase the band's virtuosity and skill. The album is a journey through the natural world, with themes of love, loss, and the cyclical nature of life woven throughout the lyrics. Circle of Leaves is a stunning work of art that will transport listeners to a magical realm and leave them wanting more.
