For A Day Or A Lifetime
Lovewood, 2024
9/10
Listen to For A Day Or A Lifetime
The Seattle duo of Fleur and Wesley Wood, as The W Lovers the pair pen lovely harmonies and sublime acoustic sounds that span across these 11 rich songs.
The warm and cozy “Little Ant” starts the listen with Fleur’s pretty pipes alongside thumping drums and elegant guitar, and “Creek And The Hills” follows with a sense of mystery that unfolds with bright vocals and playful picking that embraces country ideas.
Deeper into the listen, “Jeanne’s Lilac” emits a timeless folk quality via the poetic singing and gentle guitar, while “Roll Up The Highway” gets a bit more forceful, vocally, amid upbeat and dance floor ready instrumentation.
Close to the end, the emotive “Throw The Line” carries a bit of dreaminess via the hazy vocal harmonies that blend in well with the rich music, and “I Loved You Best” exits with romantic songwriting that tugs on the heartstrings.
A very well thought out meshing of Americana, folk, country, roots and even indie-rock, this is a record that is lyrically just as luminous as it is musically.
Travels well with: Tucker Woods- Sunshine Blues; Andrea von Kampen- Sister Mood
