This one is a pulse racer! The piano sets the tempo, and just runs! It’s a great little jazz instrumental, using bass, drums, and piano, the whole track is off kilter it seems the time signature flits between a few bars I gave up counting because quite frankly it had me grooving. It messes with …
This hits the ground running as a country record, the brushes are out on the drums going at a fair old tempo! The guitars twang, it feels like this song should have been recorded in a prestigious recording in Nashville, but no this is straight out of the UK and it just really does hit …
I recently had a chat online with @weeblade about @petshopboys and it made me think of this song. It was never released as a single, but was on their Behaviour album from 1990. This is typical of that era of the PSBs, it’s moody, and having been recorded on analog synths, it gives off that warmth. Lyrically it’s …
In doing my weekly crate digging for new releases I came across this gem of a track. It’s a hip hop head bopper from Wales’s Unity and she brings tongue twisting lyrical excellence to this track – and what a track – the beat plods along nicely, made up of kick, snare, hi hat, vocal …
Congratulations on the release of “This Was Then” how does it feel? Thanks so much! It always feels great to put out an album, especially if you’re proud of it… It’s your ninth album, is there a running theme? My music is always reflecting on experience in the current moment and nostalgia from the past, …
Hello Nathan how are you? I’m great, it’s nice to have a chat with you. Congratulations on the release of La Grande Salle’ how does it feel? Thank you so much. It feels really good—especially knowing that some of these songs waited a long time before being released. It’s a relief and a joy to …
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 …
Well, this is quite a mixture! This combines spoken word, with indie rock sensibilities but then you’ve got a spoken word element too and a little bit of hip hop too. This is a track that has an infectious hook, and it caught my attention immediately, it’s almost like a self help tape wrapped up …
This is a jazzy number that’s got me relaxed on a very packed train to work! The piano starts off the proceedings in the lower register, and then it’s joined by Nicoya’s gorgeous voice, she brings so much soul to this. The adlibs before she hits the verse tell you that she’s about to do …
