The Blind Hearts
The Blind Hearts is a London – England based indie folk rock band made up of Andy Gyves (Vocals), Dan Clark (Guitar, backing vocals, keys, harmonica), Tom Smith (Guitar), Simon Julian (Bass) and J Hirano (Drums).
All experienced musicians with a ‘signed’ background, they have melded together to set their own direction and are making a decent fist of it. The racing tempo is texturised by the layers of instruments with a Dylan’esque vocal to sweep the combination together. The Blind Hearts swirling sounds capture the listener in a comforting angora jumper, inviting a foot tap or even a full blown wander round the dance floor.
Whilst harking back to an bye-gone era, they retain a freshness and energy which engages the 21st Century and it is of little surprise their festival performances have been so well received.
Just listening to this on an overcast morning, I find myself lifted towards the summer sunshine.
