Lando Manning’s EP “Brighter Days” is a hauntingly beautiful collection that invites listeners into the intimate depths of his soul. Written in dark mental states, it demonstrates his raw talent and introspective lyricism in a stripped-down, acoustic setting, akin to the classic works of 70s folk songwriters like Nick Drake and Towns Van Zandt.
Manning’s delicate fingerpicking and calming vocals draw listeners in, while his contemplative lyrics paint a vivid picture of vulnerability and longing. Despite the gloomy nature of the mini-album, it still feels hopeful and reminds us that no matter how dire our circumstances may seem, there is always a glimmer of light waiting to guide us towards a brighter tomorrow.
