You have Ming\u2019s vocals switching between melody and spoken word effortlessly. Given the fact that the lyrics are in poetic form that\u2019s probably not an accident. I like the layers to the vocals, where there\u2019s a deeper voice emphasising on certain words and phrases. The instrumental itself is a mixture of hiphop with the old school scratch sample to bring all the instruments in. The drums are solid, backed up with shaker and cowbell. Add to that a wandering trumpet solo, and beautiful jazz guitar and you have a great song that brightens up your Friday morning. Great work Project Blackbird! They have a new album out 22nd November on Bandcamp &#8211; it\u2019s called True Names, and the title itself has intrigued me! They will also be playing FOTN Live in December in Leicester.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Project Blackbird are:<\/p>\n<p>Ming Nagel <br \/>Jon Read <br \/>Alan Roberts <br \/>Jamie Varley<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Blackbird are back with a track that\u2019s a slick bit of production!
