Déjà vu (We Have All Been Here Before)

The Wandering Hearts are a British Americana-Folk band known for their enchanting harmonies and heartfelt songwriting, influenced by the likes of Simon & Garfunkel, Fleetwood Mac, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and have a similar sound to The Lumineers and First Aid Kit. Their new album, Déjà Vu (We’ve All Been Here Before), is a beautiful re-work of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s 1970 hit album of the same name. The album follows on from the album ‘Mother’, and their two sold out UK tours last year. Recorded in one week in Joshua Tree, Taurus Rising Studios, this isn’t an album out to besmirch the original, but to become a loving companion without being an overly reverential copy. With a band as distinctive and exciting as The Wandering Hearts, a note-for-note facsimile was never an option. One listen to how The Wandering Hearts have taken Déjà Vu’s ten songs to new places and reimagined them over 50 years later, and it’s clear this is a very bold, very new work by one of Britain’s most accomplished Americana artists.
