today’s Just The Crust feature is the new single “Gravedigger” by Tim Gambles! 🌙
the North-East based, Tasmanian-born musician has been making a name for himself for the past few years, with a formidable run of music behind him, charged with passion and ferocity in his songs – ensuring he’s one to keep an eye out for! 👊
this new single sounds mega, it’s got a gorgeous atmosphere behind it, and it sits between a moody, yet electric feel. there’s a soft darkness to the track, yet it’s charged with a real sense of ferocity, proven with driving guitar, huge rhythm sections and Tim’s vocal taking centre stage, combining raw vocal ability with expert lyricism. he’s able to paint a real landscape with his words, and the musicianship within the song is excellent, coming together to create a real unforgettable tune. 🎶
you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and there’s a full music video available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQMOrQK2xEY 🎥
