Left With Pictures – 1, 2, 3…Go!

Left With Pictures – 1, 2, 3…Go!

I love folk pop. Its something I really wouldn’t have been exposed to in my 19 short years, were it not for the likes of Laura Marling and Emmy the Great launching stunning debuts alongside the artists of Bella Union.

And so, I come to ‘1, 2, 3…Go!’ with high hopes for another band to add to my list of new favourites.

An almost-perfect piano line and harmonised “pa-pas” make up the first single from Left With Pictures’ forthcoming debut, Beyond Our Means. There’s really very little I can complain about regarding the song.

It starts with the bare basics of drums, piano and voice and builds to a synth-laden, layered and dreamscape-y ending. And with lyrics like “I wish the snow came round in the summertime, just to quilt the ground”, I’m completely won over by the undeniably sweet nature of the track, all delivered in a neat package that could delight OAP or child.

The only problem I have is that I’m now left wanting an album release…
