Hello Uncle Kid, how are you? I just went to Lidl to buy a cauliflower. I can feel autumn in my bones now. I dread this time of year. Anyway, I get to the checkout and apparently I’ve hit my shopping goal for the month and have earned a free loaf. But when I pick …
Hello James, how are you? I’m very well, thanks for asking. Congratulations on making the Fresh Faves with Post War Plans, how does it feel? Thank you! It made me very proud. I’ve submitted countless tracks in the past and this is the first one that’s finally made it through to Fresh Faves. I don’t …
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 …
Hello Beth, how are you? Hello! Nice to meet you. I’m feeling great, thanks for asking! Congratulations on the release of “Power Of The Wolf” how does it feel? It’s been a journey! I have to admit that it was quite emotional releasing this song as it has been with me for a …
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 …
This next one has lots of fuzz on the guitars – this is made up for with big vocals! Unison in the verse and harmonies very much in the 70s rock vein in the chorus. Cowbell? Of course there’s a cowbell. The toms are big as well on this, I wonder if the drums were …
The guitar work on this instrumental is gorgeous! It has a bit of Americana in there, and it’s just jaunty, a real feel good tune, aided by the fact that it’s in A Major. I could imagine this going down a treat with a really sweet vocal group especially with the melody at around 0:42 …
This next one has a lovely drum pattern that had me tapping it out on the table as I listened. I like the touch of an afrobeat groove at around 0:49, it adds a different spice to the track. In fact, that’s what makes this song for me. It’s the drums. Winner! Again strong vocal …
