Back to basics, when the programmed devices continue to take over – an essential underground movement that’s thriving, impassioned and impressive. Amos Zimmerman delivers one of the most clever and enjoyable human folk songs of the season, with the brilliant lyrical intrigue and fingerpicked warmth of Lost My Groove.
Instantly alluring for this natural pairing of a sublime leading voice and the softly picked guitar strings, from the brand new album Finger Tales, Lost My Groove breathes a level of calm and peaceful contemplation into the room, and Amos Zimmerman proceeds to offer three varied verse stories – each a fine blend of abstract and imagery-laden, with easy to visualise scenes but some unpredictable twists or strangeness to help elevate the memory of the song in your mind.
It’s a thought provoking, satisfying, and refreshingly original song, with a simple and enjoyable sense of completion to that hook and title concept of Lost My Groove.
If you only hear one new acoustic song today, let it be this. An artist walking in the footsteps of the greats, with thoughtful and concise, sharp and fascinating lyrics, and a voice and guitar ability that feel serenly natural. No filler or falseness needed, just real music, from real artists.
