Concert Review: Yoke Lore Brings Out The Folk Lore In BK
If there is one thing New York has always loved, it is a legend. Heck! Most people come here to become one. Thus, Yoke Lore’s folksy style matched well with a group of Brooklynites hoping that someone, even if it themselves, would think their life is worth a published poem.
At MHOW, Yoke Lore played a solid show, but I am not saying that like a father trying to cheer up his son who sucks at baseball but, at least, has heart. I mean “solid” in terms of someone that stabilizes people. Even the technicolor dream show, going on behind him, was filled with pictures of a soul re-uniting with a body .Kaleidoscope images painted over him as he sung to wanting more but never feeling enough. THIS IS THE TITULAR MILLENNIAL, SPIRITUAL GRIPE! Ok, Boomer!

If you are Generation Y, Z, or below, you will realize that the future looks grim and the present, at best, is a light gray. We got a lot of issues, for being young, and Mitch McConnell is making sure Climate Change, Health Care, and Debt remain future problems, too. Yet, what do you do? Give up? In this, Yoke Lore finds his emotional, lyrical epicenter. He sings to hope, inner peace, and feeling like life is what you give the world, not what the world gives you.

Perhaps, it is because family was there, but Yoke Lore felt superbly wholesome; in a way that was not cheesy or less. He was a regular guy aiming for extraordinary feelings and that was so relatable. He tussled his guitar and set his synthesizer with a smile that reached for people’s hearts. Naturally, the crowd loved him because, as they sang along, he provided what they came for: a poem of their life. From “Beige” to “Goodpain,” he was like a one-man Passion Pit, giving electro moods to the many times you didn’t feel like a “color on the rainbow,” but still knew that you deserved your spot in the sky.
