Lyon is a unique folk/indie rock album with rich vocals. Historical research in music lets Lyon Hansen easily adapt various elements from the first half of the 1900's and up to the 60's. Lyrics show a fascination of religion, death and darkness. No instrumental versions.
Miss DeathA southern 1920's style anthem performed a capella with a big wooden-metallic stompBlues · 131 BPM · C# minor0:56
BloodA completely timeless sound on this piano driven indie folk song. The band pumps along like a train. Good pace and positive tone, perhaps with some sarcasm.Folk · 130 BPM · G major3:37
SisterGuitar and vocal perform this true diamond of a song. Lyrics are a salute to the sister who is in HeavenFolk · 88 BPM · E major4:47
Glowing in the DarkDriven by a simple natural guitar, the voice is left with plenty of space to tell its story. Sounds like indie folk made in the 1940s. Additional sounds are simply and slightly dizzying.Folk · 120 BPM · Gb major2:51
A ShipA Yiddish/Balkan influenced ragtime type of production. Gives a feeling that the circus is in town. The lyrics are a story about a sailorFolk · 103 BPM · C minor2:31
In Your WorldA 1960s inspired rock and roll song. Cool sound! Great atmoshpere, as the groove changes between verse and chorus. An Adam & Eve type of storyIndie Rock · 137 BPM · F minor3:30
Muddy StreamStarting with a hard rhythmic breathing. A 60s-rock inspired production with a Yiddish twist. Great groove from drums and guitarIndie Rock · 95 BPM · Eb minor2:42
Ode to WarOminous mood from the battering drums, the electric guitar and the vocal breaths. The vocal chants on top of this cold, alerting bed of pumping instruments. The chorus is edgy retro rock.Rock · 87 BPM · G minor4:33
SarabandeAn instrumental 60s inspired rock song driven by the electric guitar. It's rock, surf and spaghetti western. Completely retro. Upbeat, and the second half is epic and victoriousRock · 113 BPM · C# minor3:01
The HighlandsA warm and sad ballad with a soft jumpy beat underneath. It gradually builds in intensity towards the endIndie Rock · 154 BPM · G# minor5:04
SleepA dream like state of mind. A beautiful theme on the piano starts of. The mood is quite sad and mystical, but there is a good drive, as there is a stomp pushing underneath. Ghost like sounds join in.Folk · 100 BPM · A minor5:59
