A total joy to listen to, not just because of the wonderful songwriting, but because of the flawless & clearly lost-in-the-moment performances as well.
Music
Mark Rogers is a multi-instrumentalist & songwriter whose debut EP Rearranged offers audiences a warm & partly nostalgic touch of gentle Americana, featuring a string of thoughtful lyrics & enjoyable melodies.
The level of effort & detail on this EP is fantastic, everything has been thoughtfully incorporated & crafted & it makes for a massively enjoyable playlist. Expect big things from this direction.
A huge track, the music feels like blues-rock, gritty & infectious, energizing, yet there’s a certain effect & tone to the harmonica that moves the whole thing over into some sub-genre of electronic rock & roll.
The verses vary in pace & passion, sometimes fitting in with the laid back ambiance, other times taking the heat & energy of the writing to the absolute maximum & really letting listeners know what they’re dealing with.
Kama Vardi’s entirely captivating songwriting shines with immense brightness. Every line offers something uniquely expressive & thought provoking. Not a moment is wasted.
A heavy & noteworthy attack on the senses. A simple beat begins the process, later erupting into retro electronic rock with an ongoing layer of distortion & double vocals that grind & wind their way into your consciousness.
Louis Antoniou is one of music’s most exciting & hard working artists to emerge this year. His aim over the coming months is to smash out five hard-hitting singles that showcase his abilities & his creative direction under a colourful spotlight.
The overwhelming peacefulness of the audio, the way that it seems to stop time for you as you listen, allows you to really face up to the things that matter or that have been on your mind.
Taking a crucial splash of nostalgia & fusing it with fresh vibrancy, Bury Me in Lights seek to surround you with high energy anthems – perfectly crafted for the thoughtful souls out there.
The instrumentation is brilliant, a live show would fill the room with peaceful energy & flawlessly skinful musicianship – with just a touch of electronic experimentation to keep a certain thread of alternative energy alive.
This underlying sense of joy & possibility goes from strength to strength. There are plenty of minutes of hypnotic rhythm, as well as freely meandering riffs that carry the story line as if you & it are one & the same; on the back of a surf board, riding the wave.
