The award winning Imagined Village are one of the most innovative, radical and best selling groups to have emerged from the recent English roots revival. Their third album is by far their most cohesive and radical yet. The breadth of vision is stunning and has been described in the press as 'a joyous celebration of English and global culture'.

The Imagined Village is a folk musical project founded by Simon Emmerson of the Afro Celt Sound System. It is intended to produce modern folk music that represents modern multiculturalism in the United Kingdom and as such, features musicians from a wide variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The name of the project comes from the 1993 book The Imagined Village by Georgina Boyes.

This third album has notably less input from folk titan Martin Carthy (there is more from his singing, fiddling daughter Eliza), but it's a huge, focused, and daring leap forwards. Although Washing Song is too short of ideas on an album otherwise overflowing with them, the rest of the more overtly folk material, especially Wintersinging, has a new-found spring in its step and the oddly sensual Sick Old Man even gets away with banging on about raggle taggle gypsies, albeit from a sympathetic 21st-century perspective  . For all the many delights of Bending the Dark, it's hard to see where The Imagined Village can go from here. They're not in the market for hits as such and, as Emmerson's Afro Celt Sound System discovered, a substantial live following may not translate into substantial record sales.
