Hello Mary, how are you? I am very well, thank you, Del. Congratulations on the release of I Heard The Moon Is In C. How does it feel? It feels really good to finally get it out into the world. It’s been a bit of a long process, and it’s really lovely to finally have a …
Congratulations on the release of Shut Up Samuel, how does it feel? It feels good! People seem to like this one! It’s had a few radio plays here and there too, including Mr Robinson’s 6 Music show [the BBC Introducing Mixtape]. We recorded it as a special version of another new song when we realised …
This song has so much of a punch behind it I don’t even know where to begin. First up, the production value is up there… It combines eastern melodies and otherworldly synth sounds with electronica and pop sounds. The lyrics speak of uncertainty in life but when it comes down to it when you take …
This song starts off really moody, with chords in the lower register… But Sarah’s vocals come in over the top and it’s such a lovely contrast. It’s such a powerful ballad, and the lyrics even name check “Creep” by Radiohead, and I love that for this song. I’ve just realised there’s a nerdy reference in …
Carrie Grant released her album today, and this is the third track in the running order. I have not been able to progress past this one. It’s a piano based ballad, with strings and a strong backdrop of harmonies that are hinted at but it only appears once just leaving space for Carrie to do …

Ahhh a bit of reggae! Again, with that 70s vibe the latter part of the Faves has such a retro feel, and as we squeeze out the last dregs of the summer we might as well have some sunshine in the tunes to give it a lift. The intro challenges us to turn it up, …

This track starts off with a jazzy gospel part that’s just two chords over some lush strings. When Andy Kettle sent me this, he had me from the chord progression. But this is not where I was invested. Oh no. No no no. The hard hitting drums? Nope. The lack of bassline? Oh yeah I …
