Music
An addictive piece of music, complete with guitar & whistles, calmness & optimism, all juxtaposed by this heavy burden that is the drink & the desire to binge & intoxicate our way through the days.
Utterly unhurried, and all the better for it, Voice of Dawn looks like it’s done at around 6 minutes, then a slightly tremulous, yet controlled tender vocal comes in right at the death, before being swept away in a shocking sweep of white noise that takes us through to the end proper.

A brilliant collection – well worth the wait, and a rare example of only the very best songs being included in a final release. No filler, nothing that falls below par – a summer playlist that keeps on giving.
You immediately get an image of the artist as honest, unafraid to delve into the thoughts and feelings of the moment, and this makes all the difference.

Releasing to the masses on an aptly chosen September 11th of this year, Brannon offer up a 13-track collection of acoustic rock ballads, and showcase undoubtedly passionate, powerful performances right the way through.
Jonathan Anderson, first introduced to us as The Tiny Violinist, returns this summer with an intoxicating and deeply emotive composition, aptly titled Heart’s Palisade.
Always a master of both the technical & melodic aspects of his work, Vincent drives with yet another seemingly simple but satisfying & engaging chord progression & melody. The mood is that of serenity, calm, and wonder.
