Great Lake Swimmers Go Orchestral
The title of this post pretty much sums up where you’ll find the new track from Great Lake Swimmers. It’s got this swelling arrangement behind it, and much of the attention will head that way, with the group reportedly crafting a bigger swell around their typical folk styling. I’m not sure where I stand overall on this tune; I love Dekker’s voice, as always, but it’s so clean and polished that it almost feels like a cliche folk group. Production value can sometimes take away the band’s fragility, but jury is still out until I get to hear all of A Forest of Arms, which is being released on April 21st via Nettwerk Records.
