Often, what most people connect the most to in music is simple, evocative storytelling. There’s nothing better than the ability to relate to a song, building fictitious scenarios in your head while reflecting on the ins and outs of your existence. All while being treated to a light, relaxing and soothing arpeggiated guitar. Well, if you found that enticing, you’ll enjoy discovering Podge Lane, Irish singer and songwriter with a knack for emotional, uplifting pieces and folk aesthetic.
Writing about one of his previous releases, ‘Battle Wounds’, we proudly declared: “a worthy release from Lane, who’s constantly pushing his artistic prowess forward”. Now, the Cork resident returns with latest effort ‘Change In The Weather’, a fragile, evocative gem that we can only praise, given the magnitude of its relatability and nostalgia. In it, the listeners are presented with an intriguing exploration of the power of reflection. With influences ranging from John Prine to Bright Eyes, Lane paints a vivid picture of the journey of personal growth and the importance of understanding our own emotions.
As we look towards the next chapter in Podge Lane’s career, ‘Change In The Weather’ offers a unique perspective on our collective experiences. No matter the weather, we should all be open to recognising the crucial signs we are presented with.
