Categories artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment on Just The Crust 16/10/23: James Wolf – Stargazing 🔭

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from James Wolf “Stargazing“! 🙌

we’ve known James for a good while now, with him performing for us regularly at our events and having had him play with his band at our last Cream of the Crop; his midwest-emo / 2000’s alternative-influenced sound is lovely and sets him apart as a songwriter. ☀️

this new single shows his lyrical prowess, but opens up his production technique and ability, taking a more electronic approach to his music – with dreamy synth lines, trap-inspired drum patterns and mellow and deep bass licks. the sonic atmosphere of this track is superb, creating a real elevated feel, and flowing incredibly throughout the chorus, a gorgeous contrast to the verses. ✨

you can find the track in full on streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/track/16wFzGu9p3cQn0aohmqEHC – well worth a listen 👊

Our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the new single from Scatterchild “Run Too Far“! ⚡️

We’ve been big fans of Scatterchild’s music since discovering him during the pandemic, with his intricately crafted tracks with such attention to detail – his headline for us at Cultplex earlier this month was phenomenal, a real indication of his talent.

After the release of his EP in November last year we’ve been waiting for new music from him and this doesn’t disappoint – setting the mood right from the get-go with a luscious guitar pattern, driving rhythm and a carefully-constructed soundscape behind him, his vocal is given plenty of room to shine through. His songwriting ability is on full display here, being able to convey such emotion through his lyrics, and being able to write a catchy hook without detracting from the purpose of the song, fantastic stuff. We’re always in awe of his intimate and raw lyrical talent 🙌

You can find the track on all streaming platforms, and the music video comes out on the 31st August at https://youtu.be/0KXssBDxeKY 🎶 it looks incredible from what we’ve seen already!
