Perhaps one of Last Harbour’s most Swans-like moments to date, and lifted from the ambitious and epic album ‘Your Heart it Carries the Sound’, ‘Replacements’ begins as a soft yet bleak and sparse folk lament, over which K Craig croons in a drawing Gira-esque monotone how ‘the sound never dies’ before a sweeping crescendo of monumental proportions crashes in to devastating effect. The EP also offers an acoustic rendition of a ‘Replacements’ and album tracks ‘Never’ and ‘Your Heart it Carries the Sound’. ‘Never’ is both beautifully sensitive and quietly optimistic sounding, while ‘Your Heart it Carries the Sound’ is simultaneously majestic and menacing. If the term ‘criminally underrated’ was applicable to a band, Last Harbour are that band, and ‘Replacements’ abundantly demonstrates why.
