Dolly Mavies is an artist who last made the faves back in 2018! This track is atmospheric, it starts off with a fade up with drums building on toms, it sets the tone perfectly as Dorothy’s voice comes in – I like her tone, very pleasing to the ear. This talks about a dream state, …
I’m excited about this one because I’ve been keeping an eye on brother and sister duo Dorsten for a long time. Sophie’s track “Tomorrow” still makes me emotional and is one of my favourite discoveries of the last few years. This track starts off with acoustic guitar, picked over a chugged rhythm, it’s triplets and …
Hello Mary how are you? I am great, thank you! Congratulations on the release of The Poison I Choose how does it feel? It has been surreal, I have been working towards this release for some time now. Having the album out everywhere has been a dream of mine and I am excited for what’s …
Sunflower Thieves are back with a cracker of a song – big acoustic guitars, drums that cut through the mix, especially during the pre chorus with toms that really sound pleasing to the ear. Add to this a cello, and ethereal vocals and you have The Sunflower Thieves down to a tee. This song is …
This is an acoustic number, in 3/4 with triplets being played on toms… it draws you in so quickly! The thing that caught my ear was the falsetto that dominates the song – it’s on a slow burn, but then you realise the full impact of the song. The bit that got me was at …
In honour of Tom Robinson’s birthday I thought I’d pick out my favourite track of his to review. I first heard this track when I saw him perform live at Blackheath Halls in January 2024, he used it to close out his set that night, and it was just one of those songs that stays …
Neil March, Sherry Sahayaraj and Elena Trent are back with a track that’s got a real nice bounce to it! Following a great few months of live dates and extremely encouraging streaming numbers, as well as support from BBC Introducing and BBC Orbit you could call this a bit of a triumph. The bassline starts …
I have been a fan of Nick Mulvey’s since hearing his song “Nitrous”, coupled with “Cucurucu” and “We Remain” this is an artist I have a lot of respect for. This is a track from his new album “Dark Harvest”, and it follows his path of acoustic folk. Starting off you hear some great guitar …
It’s 4am. I’m wheezing. Why? Garlen Lo released his new single, and with his usual charm and wit he’s dropped a cracker of a tune, and it’s made me chuckle. Let’s get into it. This starts off with what I can assume is a toy trumpet, because when you hear it, it sets the tone …
Mia Wilks is back with a new single, and this one is a stunning acoustic number in 3/4 time. Having had Mia on my radar for the last year or so, I know that she’s very capable of multiple genres. She’s very thoughtful with her lyrics, and this is a case in point. “Don’t be …
