BEACHFINDS by Erik Leuthäuser & Arta Jēkabsone

Erik Leuthäuser discovered Dean Wilson’s first volume of poems in a bookshop in London and introduced Arta Jēkabsone to his work while they were recording in New York. They instantly fell in love with the simple, funny, emotive words and decided to write a song using a poem as lyrics and adding their beautiful voices and sparse, clever instrumentation. One song became three, which became ten and, now, here we are.

Poems written by a man from Hull on the beaches of the East Yorkshire coast, found in London by a German and a Latvian New Yorker have become an album of gorgeous, touching songs.

Erik and Arta have never met Dean. They’ve never even spoken a word to each other. These songs say all that is required.
