Lucy has been a prominent figure on the UK folk scene for many years with her skills much in demand by a plethora of esteemed folk artists, which has meant her solo career has taken a back seat. Until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe are only Sound\u003c\/em\u003e was recorded in the glorious medieval surrounds of Much Wenlock Abbey, home to Nick Drake's sister Gabrielle who gifted the recording space - as well as the use of her brother's instruments - through a mutual friend. Specifically, Nick Drake's piano and guitar were tuned and used in the recording bestowing a unique quality to the album. Songs were recorded together, in one room, in one take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLucy's crystalline vocals are highlighted by sparse accompaniment: the exquisite melodies interwoven with intricate - yet delicate - guitar playing and subtle electronic touches. Songs are introspective and dreamy, written over a span of eight years during which Lucy experienced motherhood, breakups, and all that comes with such heart and life-changing events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"I think these themes and ideas are universal,\" she says. \"They would resonate for other people too.\" Lucy continues, \"I find it hard to articulate my thoughts in sentences - it's much easier to muse through them in songs. It's how I work through my feelings. There's a lot of wonderings in them, but no answers\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLucy is joined by \u003cstrong\u003eKris Drever\u003c\/strong\u003e (Lau) on guitar and vocals, \u003cstrong\u003eBen Nichols\u003c\/strong\u003e (Nadine Shah) on double bass, \u003cstrong\u003eTom Lenthall\u003c\/strong\u003e on piano, \u003cstrong\u003eNeil McSweeney\u003c\/strong\u003e on bass, and \u003cstrong\u003eM G Boulter\u003c\/strong\u003e on slide guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hudson Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50470049251659,"sku":"2016933","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50470050562379,"sku":"2016940","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50470052495691,"sku":"2016942","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_ebad5d37_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727371619","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/we-are-only-sound","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
