A clear sense of confidence in restraint radiates out of the debut album fromBlake Watt, the London-based singer/songwriter who records as FamilyStereoThe pleasure lies in the delicacy of measure on The Thread, an album of folk-tingedand brush-stroked reflections on distance and connection that majors in an evocativekind of narrative economy, suggesting rather than telling its stories. Inviting, dynamicand subtly cinematic, its artfully crafted precision feels like the work of a fast-maturing talent.The record arrives in the aftermath of a string of prodigious EPs from the 25-year-oldBlake, son of Everything but the Girl's Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt. The developmentfrom those early works is clear, but it's the kind of evolution that prefers to refinerather than embellish. As Blake says, "I think my writing has been getting more pared-back as I've progressed. I find more and more that simple is better. I love telling astory in the simplest way or conveying a feeling in the simplest way, with not too manyfrills."
