Single Review: “Gone” – Daniel Kinde

This starts off with a pulsating synth and low vocals that kind of leave you cold, it’s just the melody, plus the mind warping pitch bend – but then the sudden break at 0:34 introduces a single kick, before everything gets introduced, my favourite part of this track is the way the drums sit comfortably …

Single Review: “No Mother” – 10Tigers

Well now! According to my calculations, this act made the faves waaaaaaaaaay back in 2014. So we’re going old school! Back then FOTN founder Tom Robinson reviewed them. 11 years ago! They’ve even got his review in their bio. Wow. This starts off with a Middle Eastern influenced violin melody, and then the percussion drops …

Track Of The Day: “Colourblind” – Gabrielle Sey

Track Of The Day – “Titiana’s Lullaby” – Will Gregory

Single Review: “Piston Ghosts” – The Queen’s Head

This is a track that I really enjoyed when it dropped on my inbox this morning. I like the darkness of the chord progression and tempo. The track just prowls, the drums provide the rhythm at half time but that also allows for triplets which gives the whole track space to groove. There are synth …

Single Review: “Radical Tenderness” – Nick Mulvey

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 …

Single Review: “£15 Kebab” – The Soap Company

When I first heard this track my first question was….  WHO’S GOING TO PAY £15 FOR A KEBAB????  Pre covid there used to a kebab shop near my house that I used to treat myself to every so often, you’d get a large portion inside a pitta with your choice of toppings for less than …
