Statements about life & growing older have the potential to connect with all of us. It’s a universal topic, but it’s not commonly talked about in popular music. Matt Purcell has approached this in a beautiful way.
Songwriter
The music industry has changed so much & most artists aren’t interested in creating full-length albums anymore. I believe that life & music is a journey told one song at a time, one chapter at a time. Satellites is our manifestation of that belief.
This meeting of pop & trip-hop works gorgeously, the softly manic intro captures your attention, the spacious & reflective verses holds tight to it, then the hook explodes into life in a hugely compelling, mesmerising way.
This project is loaded with great energy & inspiring ideas. The songs connect so strongly because these are genuine thoughts from an artist who doesn’t merely claim to observe the world, he actually does it.
Never stop learning. Read books & poetry & short stories. Watch documentaries & educational videos. Go to private classes & seminars and meet ups. Always take the chance to learn something new.
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.
One of the most musically exploratory & lyrically interesting releases of P.M.K.S so far. Nothing like you might imagine a Valentine’s Day single to be, but that’s a huge part of its appeal.
Leo Harmonay knows how to make music that makes you feel at home, and this is LHarmonic; through & through. Beautiful, considerate & clever songs, consistently well performed. An absolute pleasure to escape to.
The two artists offer so much passion & skill, their performances are mesmerising. The detail is beautiful – a carefully crafted single that has been so well captured you can listen on repeat & not get tired of the unfolding mightiness & magic.
As an artist, MARKK offers up a notably characterful voice & performance style. This sort of RnB-influenced melody is not often presented by what appears as a fairly indie-rock-like leading voice, there’s a lot of grit & passion to the sound.
Faceless Orphans’ punk-meets-indie-rock explosion presents an album loaded with energy and grit, as well as a surprisingly satisfying & heartfelt array of songwriting.
The finish is crisp & satisfying, the set-up is unique & interesting, the warmth of the music is familiar yet fresh, the songwriting deals with love, dedication, loyalty & personal truth.
