Review: Left With Pictures @ The Slaughtered Lamb, Nov 3rd.

Posted by:

Left With Pictures were oozing confidence last night. With debut album ‘Beyond Our Means’ winning some rave reviews (DiS) and due for a physical release next Monday, their mood is a well deserved one. On a couple of occasions this evening the band even enter the crowd to deliver some awe inspiring unplugged renditions of their heart warming, smile inducing folk-pop.

Recent single Every Stitch, Every Line and its b-side Her Father’s Nose are early highlights along with comparative oldie Secretly. But there’s better still to come in the form of album title track and the self-proclaimed “a bit credit crunchy” Beyond Our Means.

Left With Pictures write songs that have the ability to make you smile and cry within the same verse and they’ve obviously learnt from the best as their cover of Richard Thompson’s ’1952 Vincent Black Lightning’ shows in heartbreaking fashion. That’s how to close a show!
