About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
"Influenced by Kate Bush, Bjork and Regina Spektor, Yvonne Lake is one of Nottinghamshire's more original talents." BBC Radio Nottingham
"...it's brilliant, there are little string sawings that stitch sections of 'Music Box' with saucy, road-kill, gizzard strings, it would take Madonna years and zillions to get anywhere near." Unpeeled
"Yvonne Lake is a balladeer who sings from the heart, spinning out subtle images across a tune, with an infectious thoughtfulness, demanding the listener to take notice. She manages to lace her words with depth and sincerity, with only the barest hint of maudlin themes, and rises enchantingly above the average, and oh so far beyond Secret Smile." www.tastyfanzine.org.uk
"Yvonne Lake makes a listener remember how much you can get out of an acoustic guitar. She creates a soft yet rich ambience without busying her songs and arrangements. Melodies are warm and heart wrenching and the simplicity of the single acoustic guitar makes each of these three tracks tremendously intimate and personal. LIke Jeff Buckley and Kathryn Williams, Yvonne's voice tells a tale and enables us to feel as well as hear it. Here is an excellent storyteller who emphasizes the subdued and beautiful side of indie folk music" - Sandman Magazine

Sounds Like: I'll be the girl in an old B-movie, A thousand tentacles to pusue me, But I won't hide, I'll just let them soothe me, I'll be the bride of a fifty-foot floozie.

Or I'll make like an oyster in the ocean, Snapping shut at any signs of devotion, Then have my pearl ground up into a potion To aid a man with premature emotions.

I'll be a viking on a phallic ship, Or the wooden lady strapped to it, Smirking at the neanderthal wit Of those horny heads below me
