our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new live single from ArlistonThe Older I Get“, live at 123 Studios 👊

the americana/folk outfit have been making their mark for a good few years now, and with a fantastic back catalogue of music behind them, they’ve released this live track to celebrate a year since their debut album! 💿

the track sounds fantastic, a gorgeous soundscape crafted between the acoustic guitar and cello, which work in perfect unison to provide a luscious backdrop for the vocal – the delicate delivery and raw lyricism ensure the listener is hanging onto every word. we love the slow build of the full instrumentation in the first chorus, and it culminates in a lovely, flowing outro to the track, feeling both intimate and open; it’s a gorgeous listen and we can’t wait to hear what they’ve got in store next! 🤝
