The Thing in The Woods

‘Born In The Woods’ (recorded by Lorenzo Caperchi and Alessandro at Red Carpet Studios, Italy) is the creation of 19 year old Alice Bisi also known as BIRTHH and was debuted at SXSW this year – quite an achievement for a debut album, upon listening however, it makes sense. A stormy adolescence re-shaped Alice’s song-writing from an instinctive folk sensibility to something altogether more dynamic – there are nods to St.Vincent, TORRES and The XX throughout this album. Even with these apparent similarities this is ultimately a ‘pop’ album, that said however, it is a cool, contemporary ‘pop’ album – an album full of down tempo ambient atmospheres that contrast with clean fragmented beats.

Influential and diverse New York band led by pop music's one and only big band, salsa, disco, no wave kingpin.

Amazon Review by Stuart Jefferson
If you're a blues fan chances are you're already familiar with (if you don't already own) some/many/all of these albums. But if you don't own these sets (or have only a few) this is a good way to own all 20 albums in one nice, neat box. The sound is the same as the individual albums which is very good for the various periods when these tracks were originally recorded. The jackets are fairly thick cardboard and are reproductions of the original covers. The outer box is also of good quality. There's a 34 page booklet that has a few paragraphs on each disc, and track lists, but no detailed liner notes to really put this music into some kind of perspective, but information on these artists and styles is available in various blues books/encyclopedias and on the internet.
