Just The Crust 28/08/23: Scatterchild – Run Too Far ๐Ÿค˜

Our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the new single from ScatterchildRun Too Far“! โšก๏ธ

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 ๐Ÿ™Œ

You can find the track on all streaming platforms, and the music video comes out on the 31st August at https://youtu.be/0KXssBDxeKY ๐ŸŽถ it looks incredible from what we’ve seen already!

Just The Crust 21/08/23: Diago – You ๐ŸŽถ

Our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Diago, “You“! ๐Ÿ™Œ

The second single from the North Eastern four-piece, they’ve been making their mark on the Northern scene ever since the release of their debut single “Wild” earlier this year, performing gigs and getting radio plays which is class to see! ๐Ÿ‘

This new single “You” expands on their classic indie sound that they brought on their first release, with more dream-pop elements with the tones of the guitar and the laid-back feel of the track. The main vocal feels inviting, taking the listener into the song and allowing them to connect to the lyricism – plus, with an upbeat and singalong hook in the chorus, they’ve shown they can write a proper banger. โšก The atmosphere of the song throughout is lovely, really maintaining the feel all the way through the song with gorgeous production and vocal melodies lacing the track, and as it breaks down into the heavier section there’s a real energy behind it all! Fantastic stuff. ๐Ÿ˜Š

You can find the track on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1SYhjAQTQSXbdX7ozdGblH – well worth checking out!

Just The Crust 31/07/23: Souza – Morning Calling โ˜€๏ธ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from SouzaMorning Calling“! ๐Ÿ™Œ

we were blown away by their previous release “Backroads” back in February, only adding to an already strong catalogue of releases under their belt, and this new tune only solidifies the quality in their discography โ˜€๏ธ

opening up with an energetic groove behind the track, there’s a real lovely lo-fi atmosphere to it all – the grungey guitar tones sound lovely, creating a lush backdrop for the vocals to shine through. the rhythm section throughout is super tight, holding the track down while the main vocal glides over, and for the lead guitar to find a space for that little riff to excel in. ๐Ÿค˜ even with the breakdown throughout the second verse, it still keeps up with the energetic feel – excellently executed! the vocal harmonies throughout really gel the track together, and keep it flowing; we imagine this one’ll be a great one live. incredible stuff! ๐ŸŽธ plus, guitar solos in abundance on this, and they sound class, showing off the musical quality within the band.

Just The Crust 24/07/23: Flowers of Evil + The Strangerz – Out of Bed ๐Ÿ…

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Flowers Of Evil + The strangerzOut of Bed“! โ˜€๏ธ

we’ve been huge fans of Flowers of Evil since we heard their track “Cherry-AID” last year, with their infectious energy, smooth groove and unexpected track flow and structure, they really put themselves as a force to be reckoned with on the North West scene! ๐Ÿ™Œ

this new single only reinforces their infectious upbeat style, with a gorgeous hook right from the get-go, only to explode into a huge electronic melody that’s sure to get anyone grooving. the dynamic of this song is lush, dropping away and breaking down immediately to push the focus on the vocal, becoming super intimate and proving their musical prowess. โ˜€๏ธ the balance between the verses and the choruses is expertly handled, it’s very difficult to create a contrast like this but they’ve pulled it off, the groove of the track is lovely and it flows super well.

the production of the song is fantastic, with really intrinsically created soundscapes, it keeps the attention of the listener so well and there’s a whole bunch of stuff going on, without feeling too much or chaotic in any way – the bridge is almost a dream-like state, flowing effortlessly throughout until it explodes into the final chorus that just gels the track together superbly. we can’t wait to hear this one live! ๐Ÿค˜

you can find it over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0m3FoEPROirtK5hZpJV7W4 – it’s available to check out on all streaming sites, and is well worth a full listen! ๐Ÿ˜Š another incredible release under their belts.
