The UK’s hardest working alternative hip hop act leads with conceptual depth and faultlessly creative story-telling throughout Revelation.
Albums
Genre is far from a limitation here, more a suggestion, and with each track we get a new stage of change. Acoustic, gentle, distorted, heavy, fast-paced, whispered, artistic. Everything’s here, and all of it has purpose.
Conceptual story-telling complete with voice-over scenes and consistently creative production – Will Tomorrow Ever Come envelops its audience in this intimate, revealing and thoughtful series of events.
This album reminds us of many things that matter in life, not least of all the consistently illuminated fact; If You Can’t Forgive You Can’t Love.
Mighty vocals blending depth and relatability guide us into a rock warmth and conceptual vulnerability for this powerful, engaging new album from fellow Mancunian Rob Murphy.
So many stand-out lyrics crop up throughout the project, and thanks to beautiful melodies and natural, peaceful arrangements, these connect on a profound level.
Acoustic brightness of guitar, rhythm and voice alone, leads us optimistically into a light and uplifting Closer To The Truth as folk-pop songwriter and artist Danny Lamport kicks off his brand new EP.
Stylishly contrasting mellow and mighty moments, tuneful outbursts and fiercely carefree lyricism, the single furthers that no-fucks-given sound that runs throughout this catalogue of music.
The Stillness seems to hint at this throughout, but the closing anthem helps really bring the concept home – find that inner peace, hold on to those who matter, and just live.
Keeping the pop-punk and grunge-kissed sound alive and kicking, a collection ready and waiting to scream out on behalf of personal strength and acceptance.
The instrumental tale is one that proves unique to each listener, but when the compositions are so masterfully crafted, and with authenticity at their core, its not that difficult to connect the dots.
The album weighs in at just over 26 minutes. Not one of them is wasted. Attitude is Everything. Well, maybe. But it’s this reviewer’s opinion that the punk aesthetic certainly doesn’t suffer from being in the hands of musicians as thoughtful and skilled as these.
