stream: Josh Pyke Offers Song From Latest
As the leaves start fall and the temps start to cool down, inevitably, the soft-spoken folk-pop records start getting pulled from the shelf. But in Australia, its summer, so if you regard winter as that terrible time inbetween summers, you might find ‘The Lighthouse Song’ from Aussie singer-songwriter, Josh Pyke’s upcoming disc, Chimney’s Afire as a warm distraction. Over finger-picked guitar and light ochestral flourishs, Pyke sounds bit like The Swell Season (that band from the movie Once) as he sings about escaping. Going with the seasonal theme, he’s not looking forward to the winter anymore than you are. “Though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind,” he sings in the chorus, “I’ll just hold you tight and we won’t let those fuckers in.” Nothing like an f-bomb in a light folk song is there?
