<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Unanswered – Ward, Knútur
and Townes</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Unanswered</b> is a
product of our times as, during the great pestilence of Covid, three musicians
pooled their resources, employed technology and produced this collection which
reflects their English, Icelandic and Canadian roots respectively. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJQK2qzq2oGx6LebwaLDd6rF4_lS4PHyob_D6rtE5Ei5fyRPWJq4HM8AAuoEtlYTH3djQ07MKc3c24lzJPUqeJtz5miYpw8TOivGG5LEOJJ-Cgeb8AABSS2hyphenhyphen3yU1bPdkGoTp770Wu5FoFepqkx3hfLPqOwod0mubacdPkRcGpN-o75iZ9cuaxz0IeCpo/s430/TOWNES23.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="430" data-original-width="430" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJQK2qzq2oGx6LebwaLDd6rF4_lS4PHyob_D6rtE5Ei5fyRPWJq4HM8AAuoEtlYTH3djQ07MKc3c24lzJPUqeJtz5miYpw8TOivGG5LEOJJ-Cgeb8AABSS2hyphenhyphen3yU1bPdkGoTp770Wu5FoFepqkx3hfLPqOwod0mubacdPkRcGpN-o75iZ9cuaxz0IeCpo/w200-h200/TOWNES23.png" width="200" /></a></div><br />The highly lauded
skills of <a href="https://www.lucywardsings.com/">Lucy Ward</a>, <a href="https://www.svavarknutur.com/">Svavar Knútur</a> and Adyn Townes have created
songs with qualities of other-worldliness, serenity and poignancy that are well
worth dipping into with all your senses.<o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Ward’s vocals and
harmonies blend beautifully with Towne’s distinctive singing style which, if
pinned down to a description, seems to be a fusion of <a href="https://www.samkelly.com/">Sam Kelly</a> with a hint of <a href="https://catstevens.com/">Cat Stevens</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The album gestated
over two years in its cyber incubator that is Zoom finally being given life </span>in
Iceland.<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Aside from their voices, Townes plays guitars, Ward adds
sansula, (a plucked handheld instrument) and Knútur brings guitars, keys and
synths. They are more than ably assisted by Sarah Matthews on violin and viola
and Evan McCosham on bass. Steve MacLachlan produced the album as well as
adding the drums.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Opening with
Astronaut, Ward and Downes could be accused of whispering the lyrics almost as
if they want the listener to lean in and experience the creation more
intimately.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The harmonies on
Paper Plane are smoother than the fur on a rabbit’s paw and carried along by
the sound of Matthew’s spectre-like violin tones.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">A much stronger
tempo brings in the travelling beat of Work It Out where the under-drumming
carries the song along at a canter. The structure has more than a twang of the
fabulous <a href="https://www.firstaidkitband.com/">First Aid Kit</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Seasons is a ballad
about legend <a href="https://www.johnnycash.com/">Johnny Cash</a> and wife</span>
June Carter where, after 35 years married, they died within a few months of
each other. T<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">he gentleness of Townes’
tones feel as if you are eavesdropping on the outpourings of someone trying to
make sense of life. Ward’s harmonies are sympathetic and surround the main
lyrics almost like a hug from a friend. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The deeper and
sleepier tones of Knútur can lull you into a false sense of security as Isn’t
It Funny turns out to be sprawling song with all the hallmarks of something
lifted out of a West End musical.</span></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKW1Qif9xcEVNgT497xEzBEVZV9OFHz8GU5oEB-h4j1ISm6THnYrIwybwApD-rCxjkez6kLiK9-OYl4qYOYA7azdnS17i84kzjd0roqhbwmlmWA_dtWGmvrrJzt8pJq1iDMLGWC88sl76U5jSsBugADJ_HViCm4gEqtz_KFEtjsESKiQQsQvjlA-m4rrU/s803/Picture1.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="537" data-original-width="803" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKW1Qif9xcEVNgT497xEzBEVZV9OFHz8GU5oEB-h4j1ISm6THnYrIwybwApD-rCxjkez6kLiK9-OYl4qYOYA7azdnS17i84kzjd0roqhbwmlmWA_dtWGmvrrJzt8pJq1iDMLGWC88sl76U5jSsBugADJ_HViCm4gEqtz_KFEtjsESKiQQsQvjlA-m4rrU/w200-h134/Picture1.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Adyn Townes, Svavar Knutur<br /> and Lucy Ward</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Everything has
ambitions of being a social commentary but doesn’t quite pull it off. While the
intentions are good, the lyrics feel lethargic and the music lacks any edge to
make you sit up and take notice. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Ward comes with a
much edgier sound to her voice for Aurora where there are definite shades of
the late great <a href="https://www.sineadoconnor.com/">Sinead O’Connor</a> in
her delivery. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Your Love Was Death
To Me is an incredible title and Townes sings the song with all the pathos of a
wounded and defeated man.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Knútur takes over
for Medusa, his soft <a href="https://donovan.ie/">Donovan</a>-sounding tones
riding slowly in on a pulsating yet wonderfully understated keyboard. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The title track,
inspired by Icelandic folklore about an old phone box which, although
disconnected for years, allegedly still rings. Locals claim it has mystical
powers and can even bring misfortune! This said Ward’s silky voice is a blend
of gentleness with a real edge and the ethereal refrain is almost chant-like. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">If you want to
indulge in the translations of Orgar Brim then feel free but it’s best enjoyed
as the mesmerising piece of music it is. The language of music is universal and
this almost tribal song has a way of sinking into your emotions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Unanswered is an
album of styles that could so easily have misconnected like badly aligned
cogwheels, instead the layers each musician brings creates a collection that is
ethereal, luxurious and indulgent. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unanswered is available from <a href="https://wardknuturtownes.com/lyrics">wardknuturtownes.com</a> the trio are
also touring over the coming months opening with a chance to invite them into
