Just The Crust 26/02/24: Cottons – Laguna 🥪

26th Feb 202426th Feb 2024artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Cottons “Laguna“, out this coming Friday 1st March! 🙌

we’ve covered Cottons a bunch before, and we love their indie-pop-esque styling, with so much inspiration put into their music. they performed for us back before the pandemic and have been going from strength to strength ever since! ☀️

their new single “Laguna” comes out this Friday, and it sounds fantastic – with such a luscious groove behind it, the rhythm working in perfect unison to create such a great sound. it gives such space for the vocal to take control over the track, making sure the listener hangs onto every word, a real lovely lyrical ability present in the track as well, almost like a conversation with a more deadpan and relaxed delivery. the guitar tone is gorgeous, being super dreamy and creating a great soundscape behind the track for it to open up so well in the chorus with a massive sound, and the synth-pop elements work so well with the rest of the track – a fantastic tune! 🎶

you can find their music on all streaming services, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/4RAFwMUN6w4OdxCtjr2BHT – well worth listening to all their tunes! 👊

Just The Crust 19/02/24: Getner – White Walls 💥

19th Feb 202419th Feb 2024artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, Uncategorized, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Getner “White Walls“! 🎶

having been a strong presence on the Manchester scene for a while now, with shows at Manchester Academy, Rose & Monkey and more – they’ve established themselves as a force to be reckoned with, and their debut single only proves this even further. 👊

with high-octane, energetic ferocity throughout the whole track, and lead singer Quentin commanding the space with his powerful yet dynamic, intimate at times, vocals – lending the listener to hang onto his every word. there’s a real influence of blues in their music, but matched with no-nonsense rock and roll, they’ve truly created something that is unique yet so familiar and enticing to anyone who listens to their music. well worth a listen! 🎧

the single is available to stream on all platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/531TXpl8FdE0GP7AGZBG0N – give it a listen and see what you think for yourself! 🙌
