The title of the album instantly makes you think of Simon and Garfunkel and Scarborough Fair (or herbs). And that’s the opening track on this album.
It has a very relaxed and folky feel in this album. It’s a really mellow sound and something that the vocal harmonies really work in. It isn’t a lovey dovey album though, there are some really hard hitting topics that are hinted at in the song. Particularly in the final track which uses the 7 O’Clock News headlines in the background to really counter the soft feel of the song.
I was really surprised at how much this album really hit home for me, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a short album, at 28 minutes long, but that was perfect for me today.
