Review by Refael Almog

Mawkin's album, Down Among The Dead Men, is a captivating blend of traditional and contemporary folk music that will leave listeners wanting more. The band's innovative approach to traditional tunes is evident throughout the album, as they infuse each track with modern elements that make the songs feel fresh and relevant.

The album opens with the dynamic "I Can Hew," which showcases the band's impressive musicianship and sets the tone for the rest of the record. The driving rhythm and soaring fiddle work on this track are just a taste of what's to come on Down Among The Dead Men.

As the album progresses, Mawkin continues to impress with their unique arrangements and skillful instrumentation. Tracks like "Cold Old Night" and "The Sailor's Wife" are hauntingly beautiful, while "The Oxford Girl" and "The Long Night" are upbeat and energetic.

Throughout the album, Mawkin's vocals are strong and emotive, with each member contributing to the harmonies that give the songs their depth and richness. The lyrics are thought-provoking and poignant, reflecting on themes of love, loss, and the human experience.

About Mawkin

British Folk band. Bio (July 2016  July 2017): In 2015 Mawkin delivered their self-produced and critically acclaimed album The Ties That Bind. Their unapologetically energetic approach and DIY ethic surprised critics, fans and welcomed new audience members describing them as a modern day Fairport. With a host of rebel rousing folk songs and instrumentals the band modernise traditional folk material with their own touch and have since excited audiences with their artillery of loud, boisterous, foot stomping live sets. Critics of the album suggested that Mawkin might fill the Bellowhead shaped hole so it seemed only natural to support them on their farewell tour of 2016 amongst a flurry of key festivals and UK tour dates. The band members have a wealth of other musical experiences between them with brothers David and Jamess involvements with Eliza and the Waterson:Carthy family, Jim Moray, Topette!, and the two providing stand-in support for members of Bellowhead. Nick Cooke is Kate Rusby and False Lights melodeon player, is a professional mastering engineer and has worked with some of the most iconic producers in our lifetime. Lee Richardson, whos former background was in dance music, is an award winning producer of TV, advertising and trailer music.
