Songwriter
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.
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.
Indigo is stunning – entertaining, thoughtful, impressive. Absolutely worth the time it takes to let it play.
Poignant lyrics contrast the nature and wonder of the music – these gentle layers and the whispered, rising vocal line, all seem at war with the inherent sadness and uncertainty of the writing.
An easy hit, subtle in its striking dismissal of a certain other, melodically and musically entertaining, naturally catchy. The chemistry just works.
Meandering bass, keys and psychedelic layers of immersion – Jorge Mujica takes listeners down a nostalgic, dreamy pathway of expression.
Musically immersive and somewhat distracting initially for its weight and multi-layered production, Getaway Car conceptually tackles the broadly consuming issue that is mental illness in contemporary society.
Beautiful, a fitting, cinematic outro to a story that seemed hopeless but soon revealed itself to be loaded with possibility and lessons.
Feeling like a freshly composed addition to the Sons Of Anarchy soundtrack, Waitin’ For My Dyin’ Day has the workings of a timeless classic.
A short yet striking project that’s incredibly eclectic & still consistently well-rooted amidst the sound & intentions of the artist.
The purity is quite breath-taking on occasion, and the unique meeting of folk-like tendencies with bigger-band structures works in favour of those forever refreshing melodies that always seem to emerge.
