Just The Crust 12/02/24: Grey Mare – Kevin 🥪

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Grey Mare, “Kevin“! 🥪

this is the second offering from the Manchester-based alternative rock outfit, after performing across the city and the release of their debut single, which garnered a great response from indie/shoegaze fans around – well worth checking out. 🙌

this new tune sounds great, with a real shoegaze and ambient element behind it – a gorgeous atmosphere behind the track. opening up with an infectious guitar melody, and hard-hitting drumwork, it sets a lovely foundation for the track; giving plenty of space for lead singer Nathan to control the track with apt lyricism, and strong vocal melodies. the lead guitar perfectly compliments the rest of the track, coming in so softly with expertly-crafted riffs. it’s a fantastic tune! ☀️

you can find the track in full on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/4V8tr8jnCMOvR4edJ3vpH1 – give it a spin! 💿

Just The Crust 05/02/24: Mort Jardin – Fragile (EP) 💥

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP from Mort Jardin “Fragile“! 🎶

we’ve covered their music a bunch in the past, having released a bunch of incredible albums and EPs over the course of the past few years, laced with grungy goodness and melodic guitar riffs throughout – lovely stuff! 👊

this new EP only continues that trend, coming in at just over 12 minutes in total it’s full of bangers. there’s a more intimate and indie-rock feel throughout, especially on the first track, and with a more electronic and synthy feel throughout, it’s a less heavy release compared to their earlier work, but it’s still got the familiar melodic guitarwork and driving groove that we’ve come to see from Mort Jardin. 👊

you can find the EP in its entirety on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/0swOpcXNQnZwxVrMybXln9 – well worth checking out! 🙌
