The Sad Song Co. – The Legacy of Love
 |
| The Sad Song Co. - Legacy of Love |
Release Date: Out Now
No many will remember the
Unbelievable Truth (mostly famous for featuring Thom Yorke’s brother) but they
released a single called ‘Settle Down’ that is still one of my all-time
favourite songs to sing along to. So to receive this new material from ex-Unbelievable
Truth member Nigel Powell was pretty exciting to me even though that won’t mean
much to anyone else. Such is the curse of those that seek the obscure and
unheard. The Sad Song Co. produces that utterly British thing of an epic,
sweeping love song done through dour, sombre landscapes and muted tones. ‘The
Legacy Of Love’ is a genuinely beautiful song with soft vocal harmonies and
gentle guitar notes playing off the thoughtful vocals and shuffled rhythms.
However, before this gets too depressing, The Sad Song Co. manage to blend from
Simon & Garfunkel introspection in to Elbow-esque triumphalism without you
even noticing it happen before your very ears. There is also something
strangely comforting about this song, a familiarity that you hadn’t noticed
before. Like collapsing exhausted in to a bed you’ve never slept in before but feeling
instantly comfortable. This is gorgeous stuff that feeds the soul and nurtures
it back to full strength.
