专辑简介
The National Lights is the primary song-writing project of Jacob Thomas Berns. Assisted by the arrangements of Ernest Christian Kiehne Jr. (the Bland Allisons, Sonya Cotton), Jacob Thomas sets out on his full-length debut, The Dead Will Walk, Dear, to forgive the past while compounding its wrongs.
The National Lights marry traditional American folk stylings—acoustic guitars, banjos, mandolins, and lap-steel guitars—with beautifully hushed harmonies and lyrics that owe as much to Flannery O'Connor as to the 1980's slasher film.
Like few of their contemporaries, the National Lights believe that simple music, unabashedly conscious lyrics and restrained vocals remain critical elements of good songwriting.
In their forthcoming debut, the National Lights intend to remind their listeners that the best loves can often be the most harrowing.
PRAISE FOR THE DEAD WILL WALK, DEAR:
"These ten songs answer every question as to what makes a fine record and, for those who enjoy their traditional Gothic poison sweetened with honey, tell me what there is out there that is any better than this? " (Americana UK)
"[The Dead Will Walk, Dear] is cohesive and stunning, filled with 10 beautiful, dark folk songs that creep around down by the river and come home with new secrets...it hasn’t left my cd player yet." (Pop Headwound)
