Vegas for so many is a place of high energy and fun – a weekend away, a big event, somewhere you can go to and be someone new or relinquish control for a while. For those who spend their days serving and seeing all of this debauchery take place though, that can be a whole other story. Enter Jimmy, the Las Vegas Grumpy Dealer.

Fresh from the upcoming EP City Of Lights, expected this July, Umair Ali’s Doldrums makes for a delicately breath-taking audio journey that slowly but surely envelops the listener in deeply human thoughts and feelings.

Guests share their difficulties, their vulnerabilities, and their strengths, and this authenticity is invaluable and often incredibly comforting to listen to. Moments of hardship are contrasted with instances of humour and heartfelt tales, all of which ties together really well within the walls of each episode. 

Sad But True is a truly artistic and consistently impressive release that creates its own rules and flows with the natural rhythm of these as it pours through. Lahana’s voice and his style of writing are fast becoming easily recognisable traits within an otherwise overly familiar music world. Creative freedom and identity unite to stunning results.
