This six track EP by Dear Lara is a record you will
absolutely fall in love with. It sounds like the soundtrack to your favourite
love story. Each song tells an individual story about a guy falling for a girl. You can imagine it playing away in the background of any good chick flick.
Every song on Cape North is so chilled out, which means you
can really relax into the songs and be lost in the words. The guitar on every
track sounds amazing, especially when it is a little upbeat fingerpicked
melody. The beautiful guitars are blended with the subtle string sections to create
really moving music.
But the best thing about this EP, without a shadow of a
doubt, is the quality and tone in David Lan’s voice. The vocals are absolutely
flawless and you almost feel like you have known him all your life as soon as
he starts singing.
It was very difficult to pick out a favourite track, as all
the songs are incredible. Darkest Before Dawn has the most beautiful little
guitar melody throughout. Girl In My Head tells the story of how you can fall in love
with the idea of being in love with someone without actually falling in love
with him or her. Although this is essentially a break up song, it has the most
incredible chorus and just takes you away to a completely different place. It
is so rare to come across that escapism in music.
