Cynics criticised the Mercury Music Award for the inclusion of this album, dubbing it a token attempt to promote independent music not already propelled by a predestined flurry of hype and money. Such cynicism, though, is to ignore the tender unbridled brilliance of this collaboration. ‘Diamond Mines’ made special the meeting of souls: a stroll through the pastoral weariness of their minds. This meeting is set to fill the raised halls of St George’s with their woozy gentle folk.
