Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
The evocative nature of a single word or a modest phrase can unleash scenarios in the mind that are more than just placed there by the artist, they open up worlds that the intended recipient cannot but help desire to explore, and whether by map, by a crude drawing by the naive cartographer or from the promise of suggestion by The Tape, what is revealed is not only a haunting promise, it is beauty declared.

It is fair to suggest that the word normality should be stricken from the vocabulary of every living person till the end of time, for nothing truly is normal, the practise of our existence is such that time around us evolves, that it contains pressures, burdens, responsibilities, stressful situations, and strains, all of which are forced upon us, and which must consider with great compassion the effect it has on others as well as ourselves. Nothing about human activity on Earth is normal, and during a period of time in which the spirit is tested on an unimaginable scale, to seek normality is to suggest that we question the magnitude of time itself and how we spend it.

If the title is a question, then the answer would be a simple yes, but it is loaded, for the listener will soon come to understand as they take in moment by moment the sound and expression of Kimberly Morgan York’s debut album Found Yourself A Lady, that what they have actually discovered, stumbled upon with delight, is an artistic soul who fought the metaphorical devils and come out the other side with her veins filled with intent, her mind a blazing, and the stomach for a fantastic tune fortified and steeled.

There was a time when you could measure your life by the expectancy of how your weekend shaped up on its second day. For many Sunday was at the best of times dull, routine, a moment where on the Saturday night you might, if you were able to, hear the moans of a nation realise in beige coloured horror that the least engaging day of the week was upon them, and that the vaunted day of rest was to be endured, and that their parents would be asleep on the coach by midday and the spectre of family dinner would soon rear its head.

A prediction is, on the face of it, an easy statement to declare, after all there is usually at least a fifty percent chance that you will be right if you think it through, the odds, permutations, is nothing short of watching two boxers slug it out and having a cash incentive on the winner; then as the successful boxer’s arm is lifted and the crowd cheers, you can earnestly say, and appear sage like in the act, that you predicted the outcome.

It is a refreshing turn when a young group, a musician, any artist of serious note, can hand on their heart declare in the modern world that they are not in the profession for the clicks, the likes, the social media gratification, but that what they do is go out there and fill the room with so much electricity it could bring about an overload at the nearest substation and cause widespread disruption to the local area.

We all have to live somewhere, but for some, Limbo is a place where we are slotted into because those who cannot see beyond their own ego and ambition are driven to push the living, the alive, and the creative into a realm where they have to fight for every breath, where the talented and gifted are often overlooked.

To reach the safety of a home port you have to navigate the storm, the tempest that stalks us all when we take to the water and sail beyond the horizon for the first time; it is the search for ourselves that leads into the water, the chance to find the hero within, or at least the navigator for others to steer their own ships by, and as we sweat in the eye of the storm, as rain threatens to tear the skin from our soul, we offer A Drop For Neptune in return to home, we offer sacrifice to the god of the sea, and that sacrifice is a promise that we will always return to the water that surrounds us.

We all have that favourite venue, it is only natural after all to enjoy spending time in one place, the large and expansive, the intimate, the lively, the back alley dive, the glittering recently opened where the vibe last longer than the free 1st round paid for beers, and should the quality of bands never diminish, should the introduction to a new sound forever catch you pleasingly unawares, then what is just four walls and a sound desk to some, will become like family to you; it is as if you are ready to pronounce allegiance to the venue by declaring You Are My Blood.
