Cork-based band The Lost Gecko has released an album that is both unique and evocative, titled "The Fox and the Lie." This album delves into the complexities of humanity's relationship with nature, highlighting the often overlooked cruelty we inflict upon it. Through a series of meticulously crafted songs, the band explores themes that challenge our normalized views of the natural world.
The Lost Gecko, formed in 2006 by Scottish-born singer-songwriter Malcolm Urquhart, includes cellist Elaine Urquhart, John Burke, and Nils Elders. Known for their intricate sound and spontaneous bursts of improvisation, the band's music is a blend of soaring vocals, intense lyrics, and vibrant guitar playing, complemented by emotive cello lines.
"The Fox and the Lie" tackles issues such as the misconception that "the grass is greener" and the normalized sight of dead animals in our daily lives. By personifying animals and applying human emotions to their stories, the album offers a powerful narrative that compels listeners to reconsider their treatment of nature and its inhabitants.
