Album Review: Susy Blue - Nobody's Somebody

Fortunately this is an album of unpredictable surprises. Susan Hull aka Susy Blue grabs bits from all your favourite folk genres to create an impish, whimsical palate. The single, Wish In My Dish is like a nursery rhyme that gets subverted into a beautiful mess. On Fell From A Wall, Hull goes from sounding like a young Kate Bush to a Berlin cabaret singer within the bounds of a verse and chorus. The retro themes are wonderfully countered by upbeat production. There's something new to be discovered with each track as these tales unwind with quirky insolence.
