Raised By Swans - Longer Shadows, Shorter Days

Raised by Swans latest album "No Ghostless Place" is a sort of eulogy/anthem for a broken heart. Melancholy lyrics punctuated by falsetto are sweet and sugary despite being full of remorse. The music is carried by shimmering single-note guitar melodies that weave through pop-infused drum beats and bass lines. While the guitar chimes and echoes through a melody, the bass and drums are sparse and deliberate, adding dynamic punch. The vocals sit in the mix with the guitar acting as an instrument as often as they are narrating a story. This is the first release by London's Raised by Swans in five years. The band features Eric Howden, local producer and Two Minute Miracle frontman, Andy Magoffin, Alex Wright and Brady Parr.

@gaysanatomy lol, now that you mention it it does make more sense hehe

@yupitsme09 Ah ha. I misread and thought you wrote: "it looks like a soul with long roots". And for some reason that sentence made more sense to me than anything else I've encountered in my lifetime.
