“Sweeter The Sound” by The Empty House Band – A Song Review

     The intro of “Sweeter the Sound” is a combination of a guitar hook that resides in an upper frequency range and humming that sits much lower. The contrast is the first call to attention. Toward the end of the intro, the hum is joined by a female voice. Soon, the body of the song bursts in, and it lives up to the expectations raised by the intro. The song belongs to The Empty House Band, while the female voice belongs to Freya Volk.

     The Empty House Band is based in London. The members are Charles Bush, Harry Phillips, Toby Taylor, Joe Haeger, and Tom Enser. “Sweeter The Sound” is one of three tracks on the EP entitled “Between Blue.” According to Joe, the EP is “a mix of folk influenced travis picking and harmony, with a bit more volume and layering than traditional folk!”
