our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the new single from Motel Sundown “Watch Which Way The Wind Blows“! 💫
we’ve covered Motel Sundown’s tracks a bunch in the past and we’re always blown away by their talent, their ability to create a gorgeous atmosphere in their music and how they’re able to write intricate and interesting melodies and lyrics 🎶
the Liverpool-based trio have returned with this new single, and it sounds absolutely incredible – opening with a gorgeous guitar melody that is perfectly complimented by the violinwork, and giving plenty of room for the main vocal to shine. the track feels dreamy and flows effortlessly, and the rhythm is soft yet brings a real sense of groove to the song – and as always, gorgeous vocal harmonies; and luscious lead riffs from the guitar and violin which really give an upbeat lift to the middle section. yet another incredible track under their belts 🌙
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Give A Little Love” by County Pilots 🎶
the Preston-based retro-pop outfit have been making waves on the scene, having released a bunch of great singles over the past few years, and performing a load across the North West 👊
we’ve been fans of their music for a good while now, with an unmistakable feel-good vibe behind the tunes, and this new single is a classic example of their sound! with a groovy, summer-y guitar riff forming the basis of the track, there’s a real tight rhythm section that grounds the tune superbly, and you can hear a bunch of influences in there, ranging from indie-rock to folk to country. it’s a great listen with a proper singalong feel to it, and expert lyricism that paints a real picture – a fantastic new single from them! ☀️
today’s Just The Crust feature is the brand new release “A Moment of Clarity” from Black Brunswicker! ✨
we love Ethan’s music, always a pleasure to listen to it and we’ve had them perform for us a bunch – with spellbinding performances and such intrinsically crafted sets, they’re well worth catching live! 👊
this new EP is a fantastic show of their talent, with magical scenes and soundscapes throughout the full release, it’s a joy to listen to; so serene and peaceful, with gorgeous melodies leading the way on each of the tracks, and luscious atmospheres behind them – each element perfectly placed to balance to one another, proving Black Brunswicker’s ear for not only an effective melody, but also the knowledge of how to utilise what is next, and create a gorgeous backdrop for their music. an incredible release – one of our favourites is “Olde Magicks” – giving us rainy forest walking vibes! 🌙
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Old Sun, New Moon – “Lay Your Burden Down“! ☀️
we’ve had them perform for us a bunch over the past few years, consisting of two of our favourite artists collaborating to create something really special – every time we’ve caught them live, they’ve been spellbinding! 💫
after their first few releases, they’ve come back to the first song that they performed live together – it’s a luscious track, and you can really hear the chemistry between Ethan and Tom; matching each other perfectly throughout the track, with a soft guitar melody and Tom’s rough vocal flowing superbly, and Ethan’s ambient tones lacing the track expertly – ebbing and flowing throughout, touching on elements of distortion and feedback, but being controlled so well throughout. Tom’s vocal sounds amazing here, and his songwriting capability is on full display with such intimate, raw and image-inducing lyricism 🤘
it’s a fantastic tune, and it’s available to listen to on all streaming platforms, and you can purchase it on Bandcamp at https://oldsunnewmoon.bandcamp.com/music – well worth a download. 🎶

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Champagne On The Rocks UK “Golden Hour“!
we caught these guys live last year or so and were amazed by their energetic stage presence and slick lyrical ability, and their debut single “Malibu” sounds fantastic – this new tune only expands on their talent!
led by a lovely melodic guitar pattern, paired with a country-esque lead riff – it sets a gorgeous backdrop for the calm and composed main vocal to sit above. the relaxed atmosphere is a lovely breath of fresh air in a music scene that often relies on heavier elements to keep the energy going, and the lyricism on this is lovely, a real outburst of feeling and emotion. as the track progresses, the drums give it a new element of energy without taking away from the relaxed atmosphere of the track, and it sounds fantastic. well worth a listen!
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “The Best Kept Secret” from one of our favourite americana-songwriters on the scene, Lisa T featuring Elaine Lennon Music
we’ve covered Lisa’s music in the past and we’re huge fans of her music, blending a lovely country-americana sound with brilliant visual storytelling, really putting her full emotions into each song and delivering so well with every single release she’s put out so far
the track is laden with gorgeous piano runs, giving such a breathe of fresh air to the track – complimenting the lyrics so well, a real lovely outlook on life, giving a real positive feeling towards it all. as it progresses after the first chorus, the track expands out with so much instrumentation that only adds to the feel of the song. the violins, guitars and huge beat behind the track give a real apt backing to Lisa’s vocal here, so well produced! we love the guitar solo too, almost a call and response feel with the violin melodies, brilliantly done.
you can find the track in full over on Spotify over at https://open.spotify.com/album/7mJteCGjtlVv3dN6htvyQA – available on all streaming sites as well. another fantastic release from Lisa! we can’t wait to see how far she goes with tunes like this.
