The diverse backgrounds of the band members lend a unique richness to their compositions. Here's a bit more on each member:
Simon Armitage: One of the preeminent British poets of his generation, Armitage's contribution gives LYR's music a literary depth that is not typically found in most popular music. His evocative verses, combined with music, offer an intriguing exploration of the symbiosis between words and melody.
Richard Walters: A singer-songwriter known for his soulful voice and poignant songwriting, Walters adds an element of raw emotion and melodic complexity to the group's sound. His contributions help transform Armitage's poetry into moving and engaging songs.
Patrick J Pearson: As a multi-instrumentalist and producer, Pearson is the driving force behind the band's sonically diverse and expansive sound. His ability to play a wide range of instruments and his experience in production enable LYR to explore various musical genres and textures.
"The Ultraviolet Age" seems to have all the ingredients that made their debut album so successful, with the band members further honing their collaborative process and taking their unique fusion of poetry and music to new heights. Given the band's pioneering blend of spoken word and music, listeners can expect a truly immersive auditory experience that engages both their emotions and intellect.
