The thing that caught my ear the most about this song was the distorted bass, The song chugs along at a fair pace, starting off with analogue drums, I’m getting the feeling that this might be a hybrid of analogue and acoustic, but whatever it is, it’s not unpleasant to the ear for sure. Lyrically …
Lizzie is back! Catchy guitar riffs, half rapped half sung lyrics with the usual fire…. Lizzie was one of my predictions for big things in 2022, and I’m glad she’s not lost any of that passion in her music since I first heard her with “Bitter Weather”. So, what’s this? Well this song is a …
Greysha is back! This is one of the tracks from her new EP “Fresh Out The Feeling”, and being familiar with her sound I know she wasn’t going to bring anything short of excellence. This track is moody, which is typical of her sound, electronic drums, with guitars in minor chords, vocals swirling around and …
It was Bernard Sumner’s birthday on the 4th January, and I thought I’d celebrate it by reviewing a song that he collaborated with Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys and Johnny Marr on – they are the key players on this but there is more on this later on in the review. If you …
The Happys are back with their brand of wibbly wobbly timey wimey indie pop and it’s a corker! The roar of distorted guitar in the intro made made me think they’d gone heavy metal, but no, they hadn’t it was just them catching us off guard as usual. The chugging riffs are tasty, but what …
When I first heard this, I could hear influences of the Rolling Stones in the intro, especially in the guitar tone, and then it gave away into a bit of an blues rock anthem vibe… The melody is infectious, as evidenced in the verse, two chords on each line swapping back and forth between F …
Congratulations on the release of “Gotta Get Back To My Baby” how does it feel? Releasing “Gotta Get Back to My Baby” feels like the music video filmed in NYC. I’m finally on the train enroute with a new character (Electric Cowgirl) waiting to see where it goes! What’s the story behind the song? I …

Village of The Sun ‘ First Light’ A few years back, I was vaguely watching Jools Holland’s ‘Later’ on the BBC. A due came on, and I was awake -searing sax and wonderfully intuitive drumming– and such energy. That duo was Binker Golding on sax and Moses Boyd on drums. I contacted them through their …
Wow… this is a TUNE! The soulful vocals mixed with a hip hip beat and strings is what sold it to me. Toby flies in with a vocal that’s lazy and sings with a drawl that’s not unpleasant to listen to, there’s a cello accompanying him and it’s brilliant! It’s the chorus that hits me …
