More folk understated music from Portland here - 'Beasts Of Seasons' by singer/songwriter Laura Gibson, which might get passed by by some. It would be a shame, as although there are many artists out there at the moment who do the indie-folk-thing well, 'Beasts...' is a great listen.
I have a simple way of dividing folk music into two distinct categories; folk that you want to listen to as the sun goes down on a warm summers days, or folk that you want to listen to by the fire with a hot drink in the depths of winter (this is hard to apply in Manchester - we have neither warm summers or real fireplaces). This definitely falls into the latter category. Listen to it when you need to and it will definitely help warm you up.
