Lakeway
Heartbeat
Independent Release, 2015
From Ukraine comes this exceptionally beautiful and elegantly understated electronica duo, Lakeway. This four song Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
EP, Heartbeat, flits and dances easily, with arrangements which leave a lot of breathing room. It would be easy to focus on Dima’s velvety, soulful voice, but Alex, credited with guitar and synth, allows the arrangements to serve the song first.
Lush and as sweetly optimistic as the first blooms of spring, these songs yearn hopefully for more. The sense of restrained desire Alex and Dima serve up is palpable. “Heaven” and “Late” are both stand-out tracks. “Heaven” opens tastefully, quietly; while the vocals tender delivery speaks of longing.
Lakeway offer a sensuous sophistication and refreshing break from manic 240 bpm electronica.
