After 2020s album tour that never was,Somersetbased duoMa Polaine are ecstatic to be back at Green Note.They have been described variously over the years, with references toBillie Holiday, Tom Waitsand a moodyMary Margaret OHara, yet Ma Polainessound is very much their own. Bethseffortlessly distinctive vocals and evocative lyrics coupled withClintonsunderstated guitar underpin the songs, and ontheir latest release City of Lovewe hear the character ofMa Polaineexplored more deeply than ever before.City of Love received wide-spread acclaim and earned the band Best band/duo award from Fata Magazine, with MOJOmagazine saying they have evolved a pop-folk-blues-americana style that is warmly familiar, yet is sufficiently unhinged to keep you guessing. The first single from the album isMorphine, described by the band as what Lucy in the Sky with Diamondswas for LSD, this one is for childbirth and racked up airplay on6 MusicandCerys Matthews Radio 2 Blues Show.Playing live as a duo the songs become sparse versions but they achieve a surprisingly full sound. Beths electric and double basses anchor the sound, with occasional accordion and harmonica, leaving Clinton to play with the space between the vocal, sometimes with rich, warm chords or gritty distortion.Reviews of City of LoveMOJO Magazine 4 stars. Ma Polaines Great Decline have evolved a pop-folk-blues-americana style that is warmly familiar, yet is sufficiently unhinged to keep you guessingMorning Star 5 stars.Packers voice has a superb range, but it is her interpretative skill that entrances, with the effortless shifts that imbue her evocative lyrics with rare emotional charge.Folk Radio UK ..an album to be cherished, replete with enchanting musical treats around every corner.Blues Matters This is 21st-century music chock full of mystery and acute observation.
