Just The Crust 14/04/25: Sandy Kilpatrick – The Spark ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “The Spark” by Sandy Kilpatrick! 🎶

we covered his last single earlier in the year, and his intimate and delicate songwriting capability really sets him as a standout storyteller – and he’s been doing super well over the past few years, writing songs and performing them across venues all over! 👊

this new single “The Spark” sounds incredible, a real testament to his musical ability – opening up with a luscious soundscape, with a gorgeous atmosphere, the instrumentation working in perfect unison to give so much space for Kilpatrick’s silky vocal to take command – and his down-to-earth and relatable lyrics capturing the attention, a tale of romance and attraction. the track flows so well, almost dream-like, and it’s a proper show of the quality production and musicality put into this tune. well worth a listen! 😊

you can find the single on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/309tzu7VlJvLfCHUjo5Cpb – check it out! 🎧

Just The Crust 31/03/25: Nat Dempsey – Not Quite There Yet 👊

today’s Just The Crust feature is the brand new single “Not Quite There Yet” from Nat Dempsey! 🎶

we’re huge fans of Nat, with his effortless, down-to-earth and relatable songwriting talent, and his ability to create a standout melody that will stick in your head – his last single “Everyday People” was an incredible show of his ability, and he’s just dropped his second single 🙌

this new single takes a bit more of a mellow and atmospheric approach, compared to his last single, with the same jangley indie-pop sound building through the verses, with a lovely chorus-ey guitar tone, playing a lovely laid-back and flowing melody, and his vocal taking command and ensuring the listener’s attention on his storytelling, with carefully-crafted, personal and picturesque lyrics, and a lovely foundation of a driving bass and tight drums that really glue the track together. it’s a fantastic listen, and a brilliant indication of his talent 🌙

the track is available to stream on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/5SOJBcGdDp6a6Fy74xOUvN – well worth checking out! 🌆
