You draw me in and wash me out until I can't find home. And when I call, in the silence lies a reply. The echo falls again and again the burden multiplies. It’s in the stillness, it’s in our breathing in, And in the stillness, it’s in our breathing out We are without. In the cold, in the dark, in the night, my love, We learn to fight, my love, To make it light, my love. When I’m caught in the dark of your night, my love, I can’t see right, my love, Please let go. Please let go. Some are born to sweet delight, Some are born to endless night. High on a rooftop, I felt the sun rise from a darkened cry. And from my tightrope I saw the smoke rise as I felt goodbye. And no-one called: in the silence the race was won. As we unfold, it’s not in the storms that we become undone, It’s in the stillness, it’s in our breathing in, And in the stillness, it’s in our breathing out We are without. In the cold, in the dark, in the night, my love, We learn to fight, my love, To make it light, my love. When I’m caught in the dark of your night, my love, I can’t see right, my love, Please let go. In the cold, in the dark, in the night, my love, We learn to fight, my love, To make it light, my love. When I’m caught in the dark of your night, my love, I can’t see right, my love, Please let go. Please let go. Some are born to sweet delight, Some are born to endless night. High on a rooftop, I felt the sun rise from a darkened cry.

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Caught In The Dark’ - Cerian

Our featured track today is the wonderful latest single from London based singer-songwriter and LCM favourite Cerian. It’s dreamlike, ethereal and very cinematic. This is a very personal song to Cerian, themed about her own struggle with the darkness. It’s also the title track and central point around which Cerian’s high anticipated upcoming EP is based. We think Cerian is very special and one of our LCM 'Ones to watch' in 2019.

You can catch Cerian live as part of the HEARD collective at The Green Note on 17th April or in Covent Garden on 28th April. Cerian also performers solo when she joins Roxannne de Bastion for a fantastic double header at St. John’s Church, Hoxton on the 18th May.

The Accidentals - Odyssey

LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Odyssey’ - The Accidentals

We have been closely following the progress of this wonderful multi-award winning young Michigan based trio for a number of years now. We are thrilled to report that they are crossing the pond for a number of UK gigs. Their London gig is at the Windmill Brixton on May 13th. We rate Katie Larson, Savannah Buist, and Michael Dause very highly, so we would love you to support them. As a taster our LCM featured track today is the title track of their latest album ‘Odyssey’.

Named among Yahoo Music’s “Top 10 Bands to Watch in 2017,” The Accidentals’ adventure began in their hometown of Traverse City, MI, when Larson, a sophomore cellist, and Buist, a junior violinist, were paired for a high school orchestra event. The gifted young musicians became fast friends and before long, band mates. Having both grown up in musical families with professional pianists for fathers and vocalists for mothers, their shared influences bounced between classical, jazz, bluegrass, country, alt-rock, and the obscure.

Dubbing themselves after the musical notes that fall outside of a key signature, The Accidentals recorded and released a pair of independent albums in 2012 and 2013, the latter funded by a hugely successful Kickstarter. Their original songs revealed a band with wide-ranging influences but always true to their orchestral roots. National applause and attention followed, as did acclaimed collaborations with some fellow local artists and independent filmmakers. Other career highlights included scoring arrangements for a 75-piece orchestra to accompany them on their original songs as well as arranging pieces for an opera/dance production with Jennifer and Ryan Lott (Son Lux).

The past five years have seen The Accidentals perform over a thousand live shows, including headline dates, festival sets, and shared stages along such diverse acts as Keller Williams, Martin Sexton, Brandi Carlile, Andrew Bird, The Wailers, Joan Baez, and others. 2015 saw the band embark on their first full-scale national tour. Their SXSW debut saw them hailed by Billboard Magazine for “displaying a genre-hopping range of influences and some smart songwriting skills to go with their abundant musical chops.”
