Yorkshire musician Blue Roses, aka Laura Groves, is the latest in a long line of Kate Bush indebted folk-tinged singer-songwriters taking as much from the classical genre as from obvious comtemporaries such as Regina Spektor and Joanna Newsom. A delicate, summery collection, the album's subtlety requires much concentration and patience given it's slow-burning introspection. Opening with the sweeping double-tracked vocals of 'Greatest Thoughts', by showcasing her most substantial hooks in the captivating first three tracks, the album's obvious prettiness is compromised by it's tendency to melt into the background.
