Just The Crust 11/04/22: Black Brunswicker – High Peaks🌛

11th Apr 202211th Apr 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new album from Black Brunswicker “High Peaks”!

ever since we met Ethan, we’ve been in awe of his talent crafting soundscapes with his acoustic guitar through the use of pedals, and his gorgeous melodies and atmospheres really set him as a one of a kind here in Manchester.

his album here “High Peaks” is a beautiful collection of his music, it’s a really lovely experience listening through to it all, with a really peaceful and serene ambience to it – beautiful guitar melodies that seem to just float throughout the bars, and you can really see the time and effort he’s put into each of the tracks, a very well-crafted collection of tunes here.

he’s released this album through Australian label Ramble Records and they’ve even got a vinyl pressing lined up for it which sounds amazing to us! it’s well worth a listen and you can find it on all streaming platforms, including Bandcamp at https://black-brunswicker-ramble-records.bandcamp.com/album/high-peaks where you can pre-order it on vinyl and support his music directly.

Just The Crust 04/04/22: Chris Tavener – Right Back Again ☀️

4th Apr 20224th Apr 2022artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Chris Tavener “Right Back Again” out now!

another in a long line of fantastic releases from Chris, this new single is sublime – with a touch of his usual witty lyricism and tongue in cheek style, he’s taking a slightly more serious note on this track, and he’s really crafted a lovely tune here!

resting on a bed of a lovely chord progression, his vocal seamlessly glides over the song, and the chorus sounds absolutely lush – we can imagine this to be a real singalong one over at gigs. the relaxed soundscape behind the track is gorgeous too, with luscious lead guitar riffs and piano melodies that really compliment his vocal super well here.

it’s really nice to see the variety here, moving away from his comedic and witty style (which of course we love!) to a more serious note – a real talent being able to manoeuvre through songwriting like this. well worth giving this one a listen, you can find it over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0Wqjp93HsOwxt4FyXQCYyY

this music video will also be out on Friday – it looks absolutely amazing and we’re really excited to see the full thing. make sure you head on over to his socials this coming Friday to be the first to see it!
