THE BAIRNS (2007)

- “The Bairns is a bewitching, dream-like, down-to-earth masterpiece” Paul Morley, The Observer
HERE’S THE TENDER COMING (2009)
- Mojo Magazine Folk Album Of The Year.
- Top 50 Albums Of The Year, The Guardian and Uncut.
- “Even more satisfying, compelling and varied than the Mercury-nominated The Bairns. Haunting, original and magnificent” The Guardian
LAST (2011)
- “This is a big album in every way” Mojo
- “The Unthanks seem to regard folk music the same way Miles Davis regarded jazz: as a launchpad for exploring the wider possibilities.. a bleakly beautiful record” Uncut
- “sparse, intensely focussed production and some stunningly imaginative, minimalist-style arrangements..the strings have an icy, autumnal countenance about them, and it’s against their chilled and often foreboding presence that the voices of Rachel and Becky radiate warmth and compassion… their ability to pare back extraneous matter and to stare unflinchingly into the very soul of a song makes Last such a spellbinding experience” BBC Music
- “their fourth and best album.. bewitching and hugely ambitious” Q
