,: Direct and dream like is how I would describe the new record by :,
: Lanterns On The Lake. Spook The Herd does just that with :
:' striking content and lyrics boldly outlining the state of our ':
,: current politics and the environmental crisis. :,
: :
:' Hazel WildeÆs breathy vocals add a haunting element to the ':
,: record, directly reflecting some of the themes purveyed. I :,
: couldnÆt help being reminded of the band æDaughterÆ upon first :
:' listen. The way the vocals and drums interact, both very much ':
,: in the forefront, leading the way. Drums high in the mix boast :,
: clarity and control over the album and the unique drum sound :
:' commands the ear throughout. Bass is not instantly evident but ':
,: once realised, adds a dark foreboding hum which suits the :,
: overall vibe. :
:' ':
,: The sparsity of the arrangements make small percussion parts and :,
: harmony stand out. For example, the low fi vocal and whatÆs :
:' sounds like string harmony in the backing throughout are ':
,: integral to the overall sound, these wouldnÆt be as noticeable :,
: if the arrangement was too busy. I also really enjoyed the :
:' obvious guitar part in æEvery AtomÆ. It takes us all by ':
,: surprise with an arsty riff instead of featuring something more :,
: predictable. :
:' ':
,: After listening through the album, I felt slightly sonically :,
: traumatised (in a good way). The lack of mid range :
:' instrumentation made me feel slightly uncomfortable, as I felt ':
,: something was lacking. However, perhaps the point of the album :,
: having no stable centre was to reflect the existential issues we :
:' are now facing. If so it has done its job perfectly. ':
,: :,
: This album is definitely making waves already for its content :
:' and like tulips in spring time, itÆs definitely a grower. ':
