Album

It is heartening when a thing of beauty emerges following an existential threat… this dark and arresting album ‘Calling’ was born… an almost numinous feel leavened by flashes of high energy and joie-de-vivre.

Songlines ****

“This record has a truly transportive quality to it. Jemima’s other-worldly vocal is carried on a river of tasteful instrumentation. A beautiful thing.”

Martin Green, Lau

“This album is so beautiful. It’s a great combo of ethereal, sort of Brian Eno / Enya hallucination, dreaminess, and world music… It’s a really cohesive record and very distinctive to Jemima.”

Rosanne Cash

“Rustic and homely… of land and sea… feels Scottish but with other influences.. It stands uniquely in its over-arching sound. A wonderful addition to the music world.”

Debut EP

An inventive and enticing debut ep from a new (to me, at least) singer and songwriter who, on the strength of this release, holds the promise of a lot more to come. Thewes has a beguiling charm that draws you in to her self-penned material; add to that intriguing lyrics, melodies that creep up and catch you unawares and some subtle arrangements and you have songs that hold the interest through repeated listenings.This is a talent that sits in that strand slightly apart from the folk mainstream, recognising the tradition but adding her own distinctive individual quality. Expect to hear more of her as her reputation grows.
