Yvonne Lyon & Boo Hewerdine – Things Found In Books

Yvonne Lyon and Boo Hewerdine’s new collaboration, ‘Things Found In Books’, is a stunning testament to the beauty hidden within the forgotten corners of life. Inspired by real artifacts discovered in a Scottish castle’s second-hand bookshop, the album spins delicate stories from scraps of paper, old photographs, and postcards once tucked between pages and lost to time.

Both artists bring a lifetime of songwriting mastery to this project. Lyon’s voice is a study in emotional nuance at once tender and soaring, while Hewerdine’s seasoned craftsmanship anchors each song with heartfelt authenticity. The result is a collection that feels timeless, brimming with nostalgia, empathy, and quiet wonder.

I found myself marveling at how effortlessly these songs evoke vivid images and tender emotions, as if the listener, too, were uncovering intimate stories pressed between pages.

Presented in a beautiful hardback CD book edition, ‘Things Found In Books’ is more than an album; it’s a lovingly curated gallery of memories and imagination. Lyon and Hewerdine have crafted a work that invites listeners not just to hear songs, but to feel the silent, profound spaces between them.

A truly remarkable release that deserves to be treasured.
