Essentially led by John E. Swan as singer-songwriter, ‘Dead, Dead Swans’ is also Michael Strike, Joshua Kristopeit, Ryan Dusthimer, Dane Dusthimer and Luke Zacherl, playing different roles equally influential. The US-based band traps you in their hypnotic web of rhythmic musings.
“The notes of the tracks enraptures the mind prompting the dizziness in life as we dwell on what the world has taken from us.”
Recorded in several home studios in Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio and North Dakota, ‘Lenses’ is a zealous album with its walls decorated with the sentiments of woe and solemn. The album roams about the themes of love, loss and grief, and the feel of deep nakedness that takes over your mind.
The vivid production of the music sways an air of calm that is further elevated by the nostalgic strum of a melancholic guitar, perfectly complemented by the artist’s astounding vocals. ‘Water’s Muddy’ lyrics narrate the tales of pure, young love and the culminations of the first heartbreak dwindles together with comforting tunes and oceanic thumps.
‘Lenses’ is a sorrowful folk country project, a lament to hug you in your sad, gloomy hours and provide a shoulder of peace. This is the music that will break of broken heart even more, collect its pieces and mold it into an ever so beautiful sculpture of love. The work of art of is crafted with fragments of fingerstyle guitars, stellar banjos, booming harmonicas and bells, forming an unexpected dreamy rainbow of eleven songs.
