| The Lake Poets - Honest Hearts |
Release Date: 16th June 2014
The Lake Poets is just one man,
one talented man from Sunderland by the name of Martin Longstaff who is hell
bent of making me cry....in a nice way. The gentle acoustic pickings of 'Honest
Hearts' combined with Longstaff's beautifully Paul Smith-esque vocal style
would be fine enough and perfectly enjoyable. But I'm a sucker for a slide
guitar sound and low drone the acts as the bed for this melody does something
to the soul and when the drums come clattering in like an excitable Labrador
towards the end....well, I'm done for. This is windswept, epic music with its
roots in folk but it's head in the clouds and the heart somewhere in the
middle, swelling with love. Gorgeous stuff.
