LYR – Land Yacht Regatta – bring their debut album Call In The Crash Team to The Louisiana.
Made up of poet laureate Simon Armitage, musician Richard Walters and multi-instrumentalist Patrick James Pearson, LYR thrives on the concept of hybridisation, combining ambient electronics and falsetto vocals with Armitage’s spoken word.
Call In The Crash Team took shape against a backbeat of social alienation, a backcloth of austerity politics, and a search for beautiful noises and the uncontainable urge to fuse language and music.
Expect poetic spoken passages, soaring vocal melodies, and instrumentation which gleams like a rough-cut jewel.
Presented by Bristol Beacon
