Track Review: The Lost Brothers - 'Derridae'

This new song from Liverpool based, The Lost Brothers, is to be listened to loud, with a brew in hand. The 4 minute song has autumnal soft tones similar to Bob Dylan but with the modern twist of George Ezra – making it a must listen for fans of modern day folk music. The animated music video reflects the true sound of the song, soft yet husky. “Have you seen her go, where the lonely go?” is the opening lyric, triggering thoughts of a sad Morrissey number; but this tune retains a certain cheer – evoking images of a crowd belting it out at a folk festival, or in fact any festival. This track isn’t upbeat, it isn’t hard rock, but its simple acoustic guitar and twinkling piano make the song what it is – relaxing and comforting. Despite not being a particular fan of folk myself, upon listening to this, I think I’ve found a new love: the perfect listen as the days get colder and darker. The Lost Brothers have definitely produced an excellent track for Autumn.

‘Derridae’ from the new album New Songs of Dawn and Dusk by The Lost Brothers, and produced by The Coral’s Bill Ryder Jones, is available on CD, Digital Download and Vinyl from Amazon.
