Our Take
Our Take
Ah, LYR - the enigmatic trio comprised of Simon Armitage, Richard Walters, and Patrick Pearson. The Ultraviolet Age is their latest offering, a mesmerising journey through the mundanity and magic of everyday life.
From the moment the first track, "Halibut," kicks in, you know you're in for something special. Armitage's poetic lyricism weaves effortlessly with Walters' haunting vocals, while Pearson's atmospheric production ties it all together in a neat little bow.
Each track on The Ultraviolet Age is a standalone gem, but together they form a cohesive and immersive listening experience. "Hummingbird" is a standout, with its dreamy blend of acoustic guitar and ethereal melodies, transporting you to a place of pure bliss.
But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. Tracks like "Fathom Song" and "Dig for Victory" explore darker themes, adding depth and complexity to LYR's overall sound.
In true Pitchfork style, we have to critique something, right? Well, if we had to nitpick, we'd say that at times, the lyrical content on The Ultraviolet Age can feel a tad pretentious. But hey, that's what you get when you have a poet in the mix.
Overall, LYR's The Ultraviolet Age is a captivating, thought-provoking album that showcases the unique talents of these three artists. So grab a cuppa, sit back, and let yourself be swept away by the brilliance of LYR. Cheers, darlings.
