Lyca Sleep – Closer In
Lyca Sleep have been working on their sound for the past year and a half. They really seem to have something here. “Closer In” which is very Verve, but they pull it off because they make the sound into their own. The guitars are huge swirling affairs that just intertwine so well with the vocals. It’s so well produced, that the song doesn’t really seem to be six minutes long. The B-sides here are exceptional and worth mention as well. “Falling On Cedars” slows things down a bit, it takes the sound of more Elbow at their most powerful moments. It’s an emotional and gripping song. It is impressive for a b-side. This is a fantastic look into a band that you will surely be hearing about more in the future.
