Idiosyncratic Rotterdam four-piece Lewsberg<\/a> has released In Your Hands<\/em><\/a>, a mini-album with nine songs in less than 23 minutes (actually it’s eight songs, but the closing track All Things<\/em> has been split in two for some reason). Based on the cover art you could conclude that these tracks are just sketches, but they are certainly full-fledged. However, the new work is less haunted, more low-key and fragile than their first two LPs. What has remained are the poetic lyrics with nonchalant, relatable observations (again many quotable sentences, such as from Getting Closer<\/em>: “Proposal one: give me what I want \/\/ Proposal two: you should have it too \/\/ Be prepared, take your share”), and the distinctive talking vocals of singer\/guitarist Arie van Vliet. The recognizable, rudimentary sound of his fellow band members – guitarist Michiel Klein, bassist Shalita Dietrich (in\u00a0 opening track Departure <\/em>she proves that she can sing beautifully), and drummer Dico Kruijsse – has not really changed either. But these new songs show that they are indeed evolving. Stream the full album below.<\/p>\n
