Lovers Artist Bio

There are at least two groups using this name: 1) Lovers (US), an indie folk project of Carolyn Berk 2) Lovers (Sweden), a Synth-pop / New Wave band.

(1) Lovers are the brain child of gifted lyricist and heartbroken hero Carolyn Berk (CUBBY), the doe-eyed, silken voiced vagabond whose intimate tales of love and loss have garnered her overwhelming critical acclaim. Torrents of emotion fill each song on Lovers’ sophomore release, The Gutter and the Garden, but an unflinching, underlying kindness runs throughout. Achingly beautiful string arrangements, subtle vocal harmonies, and layered soundscapes create a perfect musical accompaniment to Berk’s breath-taking imagery and nuanced narratives.

Lovers have successfully followed their brilliant debut release Starlit Sunken Ship, over which the Boston Phoenix raved, “Carolyn Berk’s songs are full of breathless melancholy and a sinking, infinite sadness. In them you hear hints of the circus-funeral magic-realist run-on folk song of Neutral Milk Hotel, the dreamy twilight grandeur of Mazzy Star, Bright Eyes’ last-gasp heartstring soliloquies, and the ghosthaunted majesty of Magnetic Fields’ loneliest highways. But I’ll be damned if Berk isn’t a more entrancing spell caster than any of them.”
