LM Cooke - Sun Song (Bandcamp Download Review)




LM Cooke - Sun Song (Bandcamp Download Review)

01. Sun Song (Demo)

LM Cooke (Vocals/Keyboards)




It has been a long time since we have heard from 'LM', too long in fact.

'Sun Song' may just be a mere demo, but it shows amazing progress since 2017s debut album 'Nursey Rhymes for the Apocalypse'.


Inspired by, well in LM's words "This is probably not a traditional sun or summer song in any way, shape or form. It came to me one evening at rush hour in Euston Station while waiting for a train home, but I don't think it reflects any of the bustle that surrounded me at the time."

Such a simple basic rhythm builds the tension, added to that a superb double tracking vocal, multi layered backing vocals, this is a slow and brooding example of well crafted Neo-Folk with some very dark lyrics, oh the sun may be bright yet somehow the line "Let it burn" takes on a different meaning.

I look forward to more demos and hopefully a full album in the near future.

Rating 8/10

For Fans Of: Galley Beggar, Comus, Lisa Gerrard, Alison Cotton, The Trees, Helga Pogatschar
