our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Zara Smile, “Human”
based in Liverpool, Zara has been performing regularly across the city and out into the North West, having released their debut EP earlier this year, which garnered praise from a bunch of online publications, with the delicate and intricate sound proving their musical capability and ability to write songs that relay pure emotion.
this new single “Human” sounds incredible, with honest and raw lyricism about their experience with disassociation – with sounds akin to the likes of Laura Marling, Joni Mitchell and First Aid Kit. the melodies within the track are gorgeous, working perfectly in unison to create a lovely space for Zara’s vocal to excel in – and the vocal harmonies in the chorus are lush, adding to the flow of track. it’s a gorgeous raw and intimate track
it’s shaping up to be a real special night, with a full-length set from the band, and support from the amazing talents of DOADBlack Brunswicker and Decreece. expect a lovely shoegazy night of intimate storytelling!
another incredible open mic for our second one down at The Dockyard last Thursday! 🤘
a huge thank you to everyone who came down and performed for us, brilliant to see such a range of talent and music – it’s super lovely to have the support for this lovely night. 🎶
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.
