Song Review/ Indie Folk : Yvonne Lyon & Boo Hewerdine’s ‘The Things You Find in Books’

Yvonne Lyon & Boo Hewerdine create a piece of soft brilliance with latest album, ‘Things Found in Books’. Uniting nostalgia with a love for books, human experiences and complex human emotions, they have composed this collection with so much detail and depth, thoughtfulness and taste. Stylistically, they throw it way back, to the 70s and 80s, marrying indie sounds with folk elements and neo classicals. The compositions flow contemplatively, doting on each inflection and evolution. 

The title track, ‘The Things You Find in Books’, opens the album. Detailed with ambient casting accordions, curving cello lines, and a warm pool of baritones, it elevates the old soul. The lyrical poetry blossoms especially in Yvonne’s vocals, a cool contrast to Boo’s voice floating in from past time. Listen Now! 

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
