SINGLE REVIEW: The Outstations - Heart Shaped Stone

Single Review
Written By Amy

'Heart-Shaped Stone' is a stunning, beautifully melodic, and wonderfully authentic track. It presents a majestically delicate sound that seamlessly combines indie with elements of country, featuring an Americana twang.

Hailing from South Yorkshire, The Outstations introduce a unique twist with two lead singers. One voice contributes to a more Britpop-laced sound, while the other captivates with a Country-like nasal quality and a rustic nature.

The lyrics are enriched with emotion, taking the listener on a rollercoaster through the fragility of love, exploring the highs and lows and the life lessons learned. The narrative suggests that sometimes having a big heart is a curse, and, in fact, a stone heart might be easier. It resonantly conveys the delicate nature of love.

The guitars offer beautifully jangly and warming tones, while the drums beat a gentle percussive path. 'Heart Shaped Stone' exquisitely combines genres to deliver a wonderfully sincere sound that is sure to captivate you.
