If you’ve fell in love (an easy thing to do) with Milwaukee, the current single from Lancaster’s Lake Komo, you might like to check out the indie-soul electro of the band live. Helpfully, they’ve just announced an October tour beginning at Manchester’s Neighbourhood Festival on 8th, and going right through to a date at the Lincoln IMP in Scunthorpe on 29th.
In addition the band have streamed a demo version of a track entitled Manners. You might need your tissues for this one, as the simple piano chords pull the emotion from you, while lead singer Jay’s falsetto vocal wraps it a little bit of tear stained sadness. Speaking of the track, Jay explained “Manners is the most personal song I’ve written to date. It’s about a family member who had a huge impact on my life growing up who eventually succumbed to Alzheimers once she met her later years. There’s a sadness in this song that I don’t think will ever be matched in anything else I write, but I like to think that that sentiment is overpowered by the final message of the song, which is the appreciation and love I have for her.”
