our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP “before you leave” from Joe Doonan
we’ve covered Joe’s music in the past, including his single “’til we find love“, and we’re in awe of his ability to convey pure raw emotion and feeling within his music, as evidenced by his quality back catalogue, and his tours across the UK and Australia over the past couple of years!
this full EP sounds fantastic, and truly cements his songwriting ability as one of the best, with expert lyricism, feeling like a conversation with a close friend, set to a gorgeous backdrop of intimate and delicate instrumentation that truly serves to compliment his musical talent. each track feels like a fresh listen, a gorgeous set of songs that work so well together to create an EP that’s sure to be on repeat

Manchester-based dream-pop outfit Dreaming of Citra have returned with their brand new single “BMW“!
a familiar face for us, we’ve covered a bunch of their tunes over the past few years, and we love their delicate balance of intricate, yet powerful melodies, hard-hitting and rooted rhythm that gives such an effortless feel to their music, and soaring, dreamy flows throughout each of the tracks that blend superbly together. coupled with such a strong lead vocal, their ability to create a tune that’s not only relatable, but also one to have a bit of a boogie to and a proper singalong.
over the past few months they’ve made their way down to the Isle of Wight Festival, they’re up in Stockton-On-Tees for The Gathering Sounds, had a bunch of radio play and features for the new single, and even announced a show at Gorilla on the 3rd of October, here in Manchester – well worth a trip down to!
we love this new track, it’s a got a real lovely atmosphere throughout, opening with a dreamy guitar riff that dances effortlessly over the rigidity of the bass and drums, forming a solid foundation within the track – and the vocal comes in to perfectly compliment the riff, with an almost conversationalist flow, delivering the story of the track with expert lyrical ability and quality musical flow. the chorus opens up into a proper anthemic feel, with an infectious melody, a real singalong tune that’s gonna be a real hit at their live shows!
with driving rhythm, gorgeous guitar melodies, proper atmospheric feel and quality lyricism, it’s yet another tune under their belt, and definitely one to check out to welcome in the autumn months!
