Reviews
Weather Alive (2022)
Ethereal and ambient seventh album which was acclaimed over six years from critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Beth Orton
Kidsticks (2016)
Experimental sixth album from critically acclaimed British singer-songwriter and musician, Beth Orton
Shopping Trolley / Comfort Of Strangers (2006)
Lacklustre latest single from Beth Orton's disappointing new album 'Comfort of Strangers'
Conceived (2006)
Enjoyable new single from Beth Orton, back after an absence of three years
Comfort Of Strangers (2006)
Disappointing fourth album and first new record in four years for Beth Orton, which lacks the lovely charm and pick me ups of her previous recordings
Pass In Time Definitive Collection (2003)
Somewhat premature Beth Orton double CD retrospective, which neverthless proves worth seeking out for its unreleased tracks and early recordings
Thinking About Tomorrow (2003)
Easy going new single by the ever popular Beth Orton, pulled from her 'Daybreaker' album
Daybreaker (2002)
Spectacular third offering in folkish vein from the much acclaimed Beth Orton, which proves to be an improvement even on her two already classic previous albums, 'Trailer Park' and 'Central Reservation'
