Song Review/ Alt Pop : The Lemon Grove’s ‘Paper Hearts’
The Lemon Grove is a musical duo who cultivate a landscape for common human expressions. From grief to joy to love and heartache, they get into it all. They are known to expand their spectrum, going where the emotion is. For their latest release, ‘Paper Hearts’, they delve into the softer layers of the human experience. It is a bedroom pop track, with soft vocal blooms and a mellow, intuitive rhythm.
The duo’s penchant for variance is still present in the track. They create flashes of dark imagery, frames that are morbid and intrusive, wrapped up in the lush intimacy of the ambience. If you like artists like Melanie Martinez and Billie Eilish, you’ll enjoy the musicality of this duo. In the wake of a heartbreak, the song goes to such low energy and dark spaces. All of it shaping a void that you can almost feel opening up in the chest. It’s very well done, Listen Now!
