our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP from St Cloud “What Matters“! 🌙
we’ve had them perform for us a bunch in the past, and we were super lucky to host their EP launch event in October – it was an incredible evening of fantastic musicianship, and such well-crafted tracks. a pleasure to have seen these tracks played live 😊
the EP sounds fantastic, it’s full of gorgeous melodies, harmonies and comes together in an incredible manner. there’s so much emotion relayed through each of the tracks, with suspense and tension, going to upbeat and flowing melodies that really show the chemistry of the band, with the cello, violin and drums all working in perfect unison to convey emotion and feeling in such an expert way. there’s a lovely flow to the EP, with each of the tracks complimenting one another superbly, that makes it one to definitely listen to from start to finish. 🤝
you can find the EP on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/2a8nSLGrTLmCMuE8u5vsZd – well worth checking out 🎧

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Isaac Neilson “Spiked (Mind Eraser)” 👊
we’ve covered Isaac’s tunes a bunch in the past, having had him perform for us a load and he’s gone from strength to strength with every release, making a real name for himself across the UK! 🎶
this new single is mega, it opens up with a dark, grooving atmosphere that lends to the nature of the lyrics excellently, and his vocal takes centre stage, commanding the listener’s attention – the drop into the chorus is driving and infectious, a real wall of sound behind it enforcing the ferocity of the track. there’s an incredible use of dynamic in the tune, reinforcing the lyricism and his wordcraft is excellent in this, really relaying the feelings he experienced in the moment. a great listen and another fantastic tune under his belt! 🤘
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=jTUUMQfdc7g 🎧
