Half Irish, Bush connects with a harder, more mythical England, a pre-Christian Celtic land, a deep, green dream of a country that has never truly existed except buried deep within our own minds. As a child she went hunting for it on Sunday afternoons in the beautiful old gardens at Hall Place in Old Bexley; she sought it in Ealing comedies, dark folk songs, dusty old children´s novels and cheesy TV dramas. It´s a country populated by ghosts, ghouls and phantoms roaming among wild flowers, brambles and mossy graveyards, much more a half-remembered feeling than a physical place, wet with the tears of lost innocence, scented with a whiff of greasepaint. Filled with a glorius nostalgia, it´s both ecstatic and desperately sad, full of beauty, mystery and horror.
"She once said her songs were "mostly about myths, spirits, that kind of thing. Not fairies, stronger than that." Not fairies. Stronger than that: there´s a fine phrase to bear in mind. Her lyrics are about the things that drive, or repulse, or empower the human spirit. Not escapism in fact, but its exact opposite. They´re about using the magic of the imagination to open up as many avenues of real emotional and physical connection as possible." ..

Irish Times skriver "The best music biography in perhaps the past decade... magnificent".
