The Unthanks, one of the most original outfits in folk music are covering a King Crimson tune on their next album due out in March. Rumoured to be Starless, the startling quality of their harmonies should make this an interesting experience. The duo from the north east of England have an international reputation and have previously covered Robert Wyatt’s Sea Song on their album, The Bairns. You can read my take on their last album, Here’s The Tender Coming, right here.  My thanks to Alfredo d'Agnese for the heads-up!
