Falling in love, the English Winter, the grey skies, the red pounding heart. There’s something romantically evocative about the rain - after all the thunderstorm can be one of the biggest metaphors for passion. It’s delivered here by Billy Marten, albeit with a weighty calmness in her vocal performance. “Come on lighting, try to strike us. We might be frightened, but we won’t run, we’d be so happy if we were fearless.” The zeal here is all in those tempestuous lyrics which take you deeper and deeper into this beautiful song.
Heavy Weather is due for release May 25th via Chess Club Records. It will be accompanied by a cover of Royal Blood’s Out of the Black. Fans of Laura Marling and The Staves will probably be smitten from the start. Her finest tune to date. Absolutely wonderful.
