Kama Vardi’s entirely captivating songwriting shines with immense brightness. Every line offers something uniquely expressive & thought provoking. Not a moment is wasted.
This underlying sense of joy & possibility goes from strength to strength. There are plenty of minutes of hypnotic rhythm, as well as freely meandering riffs that carry the story line as if you & it are one & the same; on the back of a surf board, riding the wave.
The artist’s playing, his musicianship, his skills in songwriting & composition – it all feels so true to the moment, and it’s topped of gorgeously by a warm & wonderful leading voice.
The collaborative process has led to a number of cultures meeting & working in unison within the ambiance, and this creates something particularly special.
Route 358 are a magnificent band, the music is so pure & yet so entrancing at every step. Their songwriting is at the top of its game. An unmissable playlist to see you through so many evenings or long drives home.
This single is beautiful, it feels like the outro to some inspiring, important film. From the opening instrumentation, to the leading voice, right on through to every single lyric, you get an overwhelming sense of positivity & hopefulness.
This project is incredible, it deserves to be heard & enjoyed by many. You can escape entirely into these songs. It’s brilliant musicianship on top of gorgeously thoughtful, memorable songwriting.
Countdown To Sunset is an artist who deals with a number of human emotions in a way that lays bare the truth of each thought or feeling – highlighting, in an authentically pure manner, the imperfections that make up a life.
The song is beautiful & would settle in confidently as the ‘our song’ for any number of couples in love. It’s personal & emotional, but the imagery & ideas are quite vague – so these instances can be applied to many listeners.
There are numerous times throughout this project at which something completely surprises, really helping keep it appealing & enjoyable. This is an extremely personal, characterful album that also presents a lot of skill & thoughtfulness.
The lyrics offer a notably poetic string of images, a story that is slightly distant seeming, but that grabs your attention regardless. Certain lines stand out & further the haunting feeling – ‘I come to watch you die’ is a perfectly fitting example.
