Endearingly delicate & real – the lyrical honesty, the vulnerability in the voice, the organic softness of the surrounding, supporting instrumentation.
Songwriter
The delicacy of trip-hop & the weight of rock explode into life, cascading around you, creating this truly compelling, complex piece of music & writing.
A sublimely organic take on folk & roots music that is beautiful to witness. Delicately captivating harmonies leave you lost in the echo of their depth.
There’s a warmth & joy to the sound, always musically full & crisp; every track has something melodically effective that stays with you for quite some time.
It’s inspiring to listen, you’re inclined to really focus on the story line, the ideas, the poetry, the encouraging sentiment.
Whatever your expectations may be when delving into a new project from a solo artist, the detail & depth of this will blow them out of the water.
Forever maintaining an element of mystery & intrigue. His approach to creative expression is compelling – familiar in some ways, unheard of in others.
The pioneer of Sitar-rock, crafting bright & enjoyable rock music with an added touch of something special to embrace & to recognise them by.
The concept stands out & the melody sinks in very quickly. It’s a gorgeous release, a welcome addition to the uplifting joy of a wonderful time of year.
The song is the sort that begins to transform as you listen, it starts to belong to each individual witnessing it, and that’s a wonderful thing.
There’s a definite indie edge that really works in its favour. Grant Smith’s leading voice & lyricism make for something incredibly soulful & fresh.
The connection between singer & song starts to come second to the one between the listener & the song, and that’s a powerful thing & a wonderful gift.
