Taking his title and theme from film critic Andrew Sarris’s description of a group of unsung American movie directors, Expressive Esoterica, William Dart reviews recent releases from otherwise unrelated artists:
Malian singer Rokia Traoré - Né So
Scottish folkies Trembling Bells - Wide Majestic Aire
and English lounge-folk-pop group The Leisure Society - The Fine Art of Hanging On
