I'm feeling shyer and the world gets darker
Hold yourself a little higher
Bridge that gap just further
And all your being
I'd ask you to give it up
Oh ancient feeling love
So beautifully dressed up

Feeling shyer, I'm feeling shyer
I'm feeling shyer

Maybe you should call her
Deep in the night for her
And all your being I'd ask you to give it up
I'd ask you to give it up
London Grammar

Once you take away the vocal performance the music leaves a lot to be desired. Hopefully the second album (there must be one in the works) has music of more depth and lasting appeal. Otherwise she needs to go solo :)
 
I agree in small part -but I think London Grammar provides the perfect back-up for Hannah Reid's amazing vocal talents.  When you have that kind of voice it needs to be front and centre - carrying the song - with just enough melody behind it to provide the base.  I get swept away with every song I hear by London Grammar, because Hannah Reid takes me there.

I was lucky enough to see these guys perform live in an old church in Glasgow and wow I was blown away by her voice and the sound in general.

These guys have been my greastest "find" on RP in the last couple of years.  So happy they appear to be about to release their first new music in a few years.  Hannah Reid's voice is just amazing....her range is unbelievable.

Can't say I agree, but I do see your point. The music is actually quite atmospheric and hypnotic (War on Drugs and The Boxer Rebellion) and the lyrics are very personal and introspective — but then Hannah Reid starts to sing and holy shit. Everything is transported to another level, at least for me.

These guys posted an entire concert of their California Soil album during COVID and it is a wonderful and free masterpiece in both performance and engineering.  It is worth looking up on YouTube.  It highlights the talents of all three of them.  



thank you for this!

I'm not sure I'd want to meet Hannah; how could she ever live up to her voice?

People, it seems we have a new troll. 

 
I'm afraid not. calle01 is a well-known troll. Have a look at his ratings, that says it all. {#Stupid}
