Featuring pristine production alongside heavy & melodic rock united, Rush has the presentation of an industry hit, and the song-writing strength, passion & multi-layered immersion of an alternative anthem for the masses.
Music
A decidedly open & endearing new single, which connects for its purity of concept & the simple indie/shoegaze set-up of the music.
Superb song-writing meets with a gorgeously ambient, soft-rock soundscape for this impressive new collaborative release from Dylan Sherry and The Green Flamingos.
Recrafting one of the biggest hits of 2019, Russkiy gives this classic Lewis Capaldi track a complete re-working.
An artist seemingly lightyears ahead of many of his peers in terms of everything from musicality to flow to lyrical framing & conceptualisation.
Emanating emotion from the outset, this aptly-titled new EP from artist & songwriter Itami quickly sets a deeply passionate, ambient & thoughtful mood.
All at once encapsulating the mood of the year, and offering a musically soulful, rhythmically smooth hit of escapism; with bold & beautiful vocals to lead us through the story-line.
Ambient hip hop with dreamlike production & emotive story-telling – Kilo takes on the sound of the moment in a refreshingly authentic, thoughtful way.
The music is all at once joyful & disconcerting – a fascinating trait that seems to appear intermittently throughout much of this project.
As the soundscape envelops listeners, surrounding them with heavy bass-work & multiple layers yet still plenty of cleverly incorporated space, the voice pours through as a clear guiding light.
In true artistic fashion, this cover doesn’t simply copy the musical elements of the song, but rather – adopts the central emotion and intention of it, and applies that to a fresh perspective & style.
Comparison is the lifeblood of most reviews, but apart from the nods to other artists and songs already mentioned above, Astoria sits quite comfortably in a an alt-country / rock / folk pocket all on its own. Leo Harmonay sounds very comfortable and accomplished in that skin and the breadth of his vision is impressive indeed.
