Rachel Kichenside, Like the Tides

3:02pm Thursday 10th January 2008

Despite a stunningly relaxing voice, there's something frustratingly familiar about Manchester's Rachel Kichenside.

Whether it's because there's a plethora of more original female solo artists knocking about, or that the songs only suit a certain mood, are both moot points.

The first track Something to say' has a delightful air to it and is followed by the sweet number Frailty' but the EP fades into mediocrity after this.

This will only appeal to the Damien Rice generation of picnic-munching folk festival goers.
