about

A throbbing hypnotic tribal drum underpins “The Lullaby.” The first new music, since releasing their debut album last year, from Hastings’ Frank From Blue Velvet. The father/daughter fronted band have slowly manifested themselves into a force to be reckoned with. Their live shows veer from the sublime to the anarchic, performing as a three piece to a full barreled alt-country assemble with banjo, lap steel and fiddle…

Andrew J Davies’ baritone vocals spread like butter over this Gretsch soaked mournful anthem. The darkness within is never fully explained… a hedonistic whisper into a lovers ear? Or the last song you hear as you drift towards the light?

lyrics

I’ll sing to you a lullaby To ease away the night A narcotic lullaby Swathed in morning light
I’ll stay with you and watch your eyes And wait for sleep to come
Its never seems to work that way
For it’s me who will succumb
The time’s slipped by
And the bars have closed There’s silence in this town I’ll sing my lullaby to you To melt away your frown
Te cantaré una cancion Pasar la noche
Una cancion narcotica En luz de la mañana
Te cantaré una cancion En tu oreja
Una cancion narcotica Quitara el miedo
The time’s slipped by
And the bars have closed
There’s silence in this town I
’ll sing my lullaby to you
To ease away your frown
But the week to come will drag along
And Wednesday will seem bleak
I’ll serenade these words to you
To help you through this week
I’ll sing you a lullaby
To ease you through the night
I sing so softly in your ear
Bout times we’ve not yet had
I’m serenade my love to you
And things won’t seem so bad
I sing you a lullaby
To ward anyway the fear
I ‘ll sing you a lullaby
So gently in your ear

about

Frank From Blue Velvet Hastings, UK

A Hastings based band merging big film scores, jangling guitar riffs and dancing swing beats. Songs that paint vivid pictures of corruption, redemption and flawed individuals. Misfits, oddballs and broken toys.
