The Gentle Spring - Looking Back At The World (2025)
"Looking Back at the World" is a beautiful album that feels like a warm embrace, featuring ten fantastic songs that reveal themselves to be exquisitely written and performed upon repeated listens. The album opens with 'Sugartown,' setting the scene for a collection of tracks that are distinctively fresh and comforting. Michael Hiscock leads on most songs, with Emilie Guillaumot providing reflective vocals on tracks like 'Severed Hearts' and 'The Ashes.' The musical arrangements are perfection, evoking the feel of Nick Drake circa Five Leaves Left, particularly on 'I Can't Have You As A Friend.' Overall, the album is a poignant reflection on the past, echoing the classic sound of The Field Mice while capturing a melancholic beauty that endears it to fans of the indie-pop genre.
