The Speakers - Yeats Is Greats

Review by Aniré Okene

The album Yeats Is Greats by Speakers is a delightful musical journey through the works of the great Irish poet W.B. Yeats. The band has done an excellent job of bringing Yeats' words to life with their unique blend of indie rock and folk music. The album features eleven tracks, each one inspired by a different Yeats poem.

From the opening track "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" to the closing number "The Second Coming," Speakers has captured the essence of Yeats' poetry and given it a modern twist. The band's use of acoustic guitars, mandolins, and violins create a warm and inviting sound that perfectly complements the lyrics.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven." The song features a haunting melody and beautiful harmonies that perfectly capture the longing and desire expressed in Yeats' poem. Another highlight is "The Stolen Child," a song that perfectly captures the mystical and magical world of the poem.
