Fear subsides in the safety of their sisterhood and remarkable artistry as Manchester’s folk-pop powerhouse, The Deep Blue release one of their most soul-baring songs to date in Lakehouse. Pain has often been a route to irresistible melody on the part of the most influential artists and the sweet-singing four piece use the sour taste of experience to do the same. Channeling their music straight to the hearts and souls of their listeners, the band soundtracks a familiar emotional fallout.

 
Taking music’s tastemakers along with them, winning a recent vote to appear at Truck Festival thanks to votes from both So Young Magazine and Radio X’s John Kennedy as just one in a string of endorsements, The Deep Blue’s gentle ascent to the prominence of the acts influencing their sounds, not limited to HAIM, The Staves and Flyte appears gradually steeper. Completing their latest UK Tour earlier this month, including a SOLD-OUT date at London’s Camden Assembly and a memorable homecoming to the ornate Deaf Institute in Manchester, the road miles beneath their feet add layers to their collective experience and superglue bond.
 
The next leg of the Deep Blue live journey turns onto the summer festival circuit as the band also bring their growing set of searching songs to Tramlines in Sheffield, Y Not Festival in Derbyshire, Herefordshire’s Nozstock and Victorious on the south coast in Portsmouth.
 
With the ultimate destination of the release of their masterpiece Sugarcoat EP in sight, released on Fri 7 July 2023, Lakehouse’s gentle balm, borne of lived experience in the field of love and loss, is a study in disciplined songwriting and effective, restrained performance. Where the EP’s first single, How About It? roared out of the blocks as a ‘protest bop’ for the ages, and last month’s release of Lost Boy appeared to glide, effortlessly, into the world on wings of lush instrumentation and those vocals, Lakehouse weaves beats-based modernity with a touch that could only be human and of  fragile heart.

The band says of the single: “Lakehouse is a very special song to us and the most emotionally raw on the EP. It’s an ode to the paradox of fearing vulnerability whilst longing for connection. Sometimes the words are just too heavy to say out loud.”
 
Slowly coming to terms with their powers as a collective, it was under lockdown conditions that the united strength of Georgia, Niamh, Katie and Sophie began to pool under the banner of The Deep Blue. Their debut EP, Taking On Water, released in 2021 caused whispers to grow amongst new music seekers, causing the domino effect of further ever more confident songwriting by the quartet and triggering a complete lock-out at Liverpool’s Sound City Festival and their first SOLD-OUT show at Manchester’s Deaf Institute. 
 
Further The Deep Blue live dates, following their festival appearances, are scheduled for later in 2023.
