Our Take
Our Take
Immerse yourself in the nostalgic hum of Ralegh Long's latest offering, "Upwards Of Summer," a dreamy collection of jangly folk-pop tunes that will transport you to a sun-dappled meadow of whimsy and wonder.
From the shimmering acoustic guitars to Long's plaintive vocals that evoke the likes of Nick Drake and Elliott Smith, every note on this album is carefully crafted to tug at your heartstrings and make you yearn for lazy summer days gone by. The lush orchestration and intricate arrangements add depth and texture to each track, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is as comforting as a warm cup of tea on a rainy day.
Standout tracks like "Blue Car," with its infectious melody and twangy guitar riffs, and the hauntingly beautiful " Women Keep Women Are Knew," showcase Long's skill as a songwriter and storyteller. His lyrics are poignant and poetic, touching on themes of love, loss, and longing with a grace and subtlety that is truly captivating.
"Upwards Of Summer" is a musical journey that will leave you feeling fuzzy and warm inside, like a cosy night in with good friends and even better tunes. So grab a cuppa, put on your favourite jumper, and let Ralegh Long serenade you into a state of blissful contentment. You won't regret it. Verdict: 8.5/10.
