Using combinations of instruments helps Godsall demonstrate the banjo’s potential and how we should perhaps look …
Chinwe is back, and I’m so glad! This is a track that exudes power from the moment it starts. It’s atmospheric, the drums are chest pounding with two hits on the snare and off tempo flow. There’s a warble to the sound too, which is so pleasing to the ear, the bass is deep and …
