With the world of music cluttered up with the likes of James Morrison and Paulo Nutini, it's sometimes easy to forget how great the sound of acoustic music can be. For those prepared to dig and get dirt in their fingernails, you can sidestep the charlatan troubadour in favour of real earthly delights. One such band quietly carrying the torch for truly beautiful and ethereal folk are Arborea.

Arborea consist of husband-and-wife tag team, Buck and Shanti. Together, they harmonise and unravel beautiful silk-spun songs that enchant and bewitch. Their self-financed debut, Wayfaring Summer, is as intimate and gorgeous as any folk album you'll ever hear. Their sound is a delicate tapestry of English and American sounds, combining Celtic drone with lapsteel and countryfied twangs. Reviewers have been bowled over by their work and have been left breathless with tracks like 'Dance Sing Fight' and 'Rivers and Rapids'. Buy this album now... you'll only end up paying £100 for it on eBay in 10 years time. Click here to visit Arborea's website and click here to buy their stunning LP.
