London-based wife and husband team Gemma and Nicky are Lost Chimes and their latest track is Didn’t I say which, like Sarah McQuaid’s track, keeps to a simple vocal and acoustic guitar format. The melody lines, legato and slurring upwards over picking guitar, have a strong Joni Mitchell influence making this an unprecedented two mentions for Joni in as many reviews! But I doubt whether Gemma would disagree. There is a seventies aura about the track, also at times reminding me of Carole King with its welcome edginess and perhaps even a little of Janis Ian’s story-telling earthiness. But music like this is arguably just timeless and the fact that they can hold my attention and deliver such a dynamic but controlled performance with the simplest and most organic of set-ups speaks volumes for their talents.
