Just
when you think you have heard it all before, there is an artist/band
emerging from nowhere with a new, genre-defying, yet at the
same time, accessible & sublime sound. Arcade Fire did it.
Fleet Foxes did it. Bon Iver, Great Lake Swimmers, and so
on, did it.
Blake Wassell AKA Lessons In Time is 19 and lives in Australia,
he is fascinated by the capabilities of sound and music. Blake
makes music, which is as beautiful as it is fascinating, made
up with at-hand materials, field recordings, heartfelt and
clever vocals and traditional instruments, using minimal recording
equipment. His sound walks in the middle of electronic, experimental
uniqueness and rustic, hillbilly folk, leaving you wondering
how he at this young age is already creating music which falls
in its own genre.
'Swords and Spears' is a debut album, which will fly you through
immense beauty, joy and wonder. It is out June 28th 2010.
