our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new live single from Arliston “The Older I Get“, live at 123 Studios 👊
the americana/folk outfit have been making their mark for a good few years now, and with a fantastic back catalogue of music behind them, they’ve released this live track to celebrate a year since their debut album! 💿
the track sounds fantastic, a gorgeous soundscape crafted between the acoustic guitar and cello, which work in perfect unison to provide a luscious backdrop for the vocal – the delicate delivery and raw lyricism ensure the listener is hanging onto every word. we love the slow build of the full instrumentation in the first chorus, and it culminates in a lovely, flowing outro to the track, feeling both intimate and open; it’s a gorgeous listen and we can’t wait to hear what they’ve got in store next! 🤝
you can find the track on all streaming platforms and there’s a full live music video available over on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTLPY4tB_6E 🎬

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the new single “let me go” from Jenni Orlopp 👊
the Manchester-based alt-pop artist has a strong repertoire of music behind her already, with a run of singles and EP released, and her dark-wave styled genre-blending tracks have set her as one to definitely keep an eye out for ✨
this new single sounds incredible, right from the get-go it’s got a driving energy, with a dark and fierce synth line forming the base of the track, powerful rhythm complimenting the groove and her vocal takes centre-stage, delivering personal and raw lyricism expertly. she utilises flowing melodies throughout the track, with guitar riffs and synth runs that work in unison to create a vivid atmosphere within the song; she’s able to paint a fascinating picture through the track, with an incredible use of lyricism, instrumentation and production. 🌠
you can find the single on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify over at https://open.spotify.com/album/1ZWUzQ967x8LnjYFdZT79V – well worth a listen 🎧

over the past few years, she’s been releasing a bunch of incredible tunes, performing headline shows across Manchester and making a real mark on the scene, ensuring her as one to keep an eye out for in 2026 👊
this new track sounds fantastic – it’s got a proper grungey atmosphere to it, with a pop-infused influence that compliments the track expertly, and singalong lyrics that only prove her songwriting ability, being able to portray raw and personal emotions in image-inducing lyricism that’s not only able to paint a real picture of feeling but make for a singalong anthem that’s relatable and musically adept. there’s a lovely soundscape to the track that compliments the songcraft superbly; it’s an incredible listen and we can’t wait to hear what comes next 🌙
