Single Review: “Goodbye 79” – Bloody Tourist

updated on

Time for some indie pop from Brighton’s <strong>Bloody Tourist</strong> who I suspect took their name from a 10cc record – if so, that’s a pretty solid reference! This is low key, it starts like as if you’re listening to a talkback from a mixing console where the engineer or producer is talking to the artist …

Song Review: “I Fell In Love” – Angels Of Libra

updated on

That drum intro is unmistakeably inspired by the incomparable Benny Papa Zita Benjamin. This has Motown written all over it, especially at the height of their Detroit era, you hear woodwind – specifically the flute, which is quite a rarity in pop music nowadays. They are missing a trick there! Lyrically this is about being …

Track Of The Day: “Eldest Daughter” – Taylor Swift

updated on

Let’s get this out of the way. I’m a Swifty. This is the second track of hers that I’ve reviewed this year. I know that the media and the world at large tends to have a love hate relationship with her but that’s their problem. They’ll find someone else to love to hate eventually. Ms. …

Track Of The Day: “Colourblind” – Gabrielle Sey

updated on

Lord Gabrielle Sey can sing! This starts off with an acoustic guitar then Gabrielle’s vocals enter the chat rich and warm, it leaves you wrapped up in a warm winter coat watching the sun set over Greenwich Park while drinking the sweetest creamiest hot chocolate. The melody soars through and Gabrielle switches gears in the …

Track Of The Day: “Hush” – Dorsten

updated on

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 …

Single Review: “Sinking Ship” – Oliver Anderson

updated on

This one comes packed with indie rock swagger – I swear I heard a castanet! It happens once, but then with this song, there’s a lot to keep you interested, lyrical references to the state of the world today plus a nod to a literary classic – George Orwell’s Animal Farm and the emotional oh …

Track Of The Day: “Don’t Wait” – Wild Horse

updated on

This one starts off at a fast pace, the acoustic guitar kicks off things with a deceptively slow strum then the drums set the engine running! This is a driven track and the lyrics match the the pace –“I’m not really here right now,My mind’s taking me somewhere else,It doesn’t feel the same right now,It …

Track Of The Day – “Foggy” – The Family Battenberg

updated on

Straight out of the box this track is full of fuzz, set to the rhythm of a shuffle. This track is full of surprises though, so hold tight! Packed with low slung distorted guitar and bass this track growls to begin with, kick drum, snare, toms provide the shuffle beat underneath, the vocals add menace …
