Just The Crust 15/01/24: Watson & Lockett – Quiet & Constant Companion 🎶

Our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Watson & Lockett! 🎶

A wellspring of enthusiasm, vigour and gusto, Watson & Lockett, a folk duo based in Manchester, are back with a brand-new song ‘Quiet & Constant Companion’.

Drawing upon a variety of old staples, anchored by the duo’s knot-tight harmonies, the song barrels along at a riveting pace. Driven by shaker percussion, jangly mandolin, and strings in abundance, ‘Quiet & Constant Companion’ paints a heartfelt yet subtle picture of love, marriage, and a simple life made manifestly beautiful.

Releasing on Jan 18th, this song is paired superbly with ‘Throw Down Your Oars’. Two hits of folk perfection for the price of one! Watson & Lockett will be launching these songs at The Peer Hat, Manchester on Jan 18th.

You can follow Watson & Lockett on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/6GomBxc1XniVBHXVY7UoRJ to get the single as soon as it’s out! 🎧

Just The Crust 08/01/24: Adam K – Riffs and Reflections 🎸

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP from Adam K – “Riffs and Reflections“! 🎧

over the past few months we’ve had Adam perform for us at our gigs and a few of the open mics, and he’s been playing across the city with his rock-infused singer-songwriter tracks, getting his tunes out to new audiences! 🎶

the EP is a collection of his tracks, a balance of heavy acoustic guitar riffs, with powerful strumming patterns and fast-paced intensity, backed with vocal harmonies – all of which give plenty of space for his vocal to take command and grab the listeners’ attention, with his personal and emotive lyricism and vocal power taking centre-stage throughout. aided by some lovely guitar solos, it’s a real look into him as an artist and a great first release! 👊

you can find the EP in full on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/5j9579CaTDvpuP2MjRCMKy – and there’s lyric videos available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@adamacoustick too! 💥
