An Album That Speaks To The Heart

"The Fox and the Lie" by The Lost Gecko is more than just an album; it’s a narrative that delves into the complexities of human interaction with nature. The Cork-based band, formed in 2006, has crafted a series of songs that explore the often inhumane ways we treat the natural world and its inhabitants.

The Lost Gecko comprises Scottish-born singer-songwriter Malcolm Urquhart, cellist Elaine Urquhart, John Burke, and Nils Elders. Their music is characterized by a blend of intense lyrics, soaring vocals, and emotive cello lines, creating a sound that is both intricate and evocative.

In "The Fox and the Lie," the band addresses themes such as the misconception that "the grass is greener" and the normalized sight of dead animals. By personifying animals and applying human emotions to their stories, the album offers a profound and moving experience that challenges listeners to rethink their relationship with nature.
