It’s a pleasure to watch Whitehorse not settling on a genre. The husband-and-wife duo’s excellent Northern South Vol 1 was nominated for Best Blues Album at the Junos, but here they head into icier, more cinematic waters, while saluting the Delta with the spidery stalk of Trophy Wife. We’re hanging on to them by our fingernails, but this is impressive stuff.
