Our Take
Our Take
Little Hands of Asphalt's latest offering, "Half Empty," is a whimsical journey through the complexities of modern life, set against a backdrop of infectious melodies and clever lyricism. Frontman Gavin Portland's unique vocals effortlessly glide over a mix of jangly guitars and toe-tapping rhythms, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh.
From the opening track, "Puddle Jumper," with its catchy hooks and bouncy instrumentation, to the poignant ballad "Faded Love," Little Hands of Asphalt demonstrates their versatility and songwriting prowess. The introspective lyrics on tracks like "Empty Glasses" and "Lost in the City" invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences and emotions, making "Half Empty" a truly immersive listening experience.
The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in the mix, creating a lush sonic landscape that envelops the listener from start to finish. Standout tracks like "Wanderlust" and "Sunset Boulevard" showcase the band's ability to craft infectious pop songs with a thoughtful twist, while the somber "Gone Too Soon" tugs at the heartstrings with its haunting melody and poignant lyrics.
Overall, Little Hands of Asphalt's "Half Empty" is a delightful blend of indie pop sensibilities and heartfelt storytelling, making it a must-listen for fans of intelligent, catchy music. So grab a cuppa, sit back, and let the charming sounds of Little Hands of Asphalt sweep you away on a melodic journey like no other. Cheers!

Lyseid's music is a delightful blend of folk, pop, and indie rock, with catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics that will have you humming along in no time.

But what really sets Little Hands of Asphalt apart is Lyseid's quirky sense of humour and unapologetically honest storytelling. His lyrics are full of whimsical imagery and clever wordplay, drawing listeners into his unique world of introspection and introspection. With a discography that includes five albums and multiple EPs, Little Hands of Asphalt shows no signs of slowing down. Whether he's performing solo acoustic sets or rocking out with a full band, Lyseid always brings his A-game to the stage. So if you're looking for music that will make you think, laugh, and dance all at once, look no further than Little Hands of Asphalt. This is one artist who is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
