our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from VALA “On The Getaway“! 🥪
we caught them at The Deaf Institute at the end of last year and were blown away by their stage presence, the quality of their songs and their supreme musicianship – fantastic stuff. we’ve covered their previous releases a bunch and we’re always looking forward to hearing new tunes from them! 🙌
this new single sounds fantastic, taking a more lo-fi and pop sound to their music, whilst still maintaining their more indie/alternative origins – it’s a real laidback tune, with a lovely jazzy style guitar melody, waves of lead guitar enveloping the track and with a lovely mellow and conversationalist main vocal. it builds and builds throughout the tune superbly and culminates abruptly at the end – yet still making you want to go back and listen again! ☀️
you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/26tcWRMjTwUJks8fvo4JIs – well worth listening to their full discography! 💫

Just The Crust 15/01/24: Watson & Lockett – Quiet & Constant Companion 🎶
Our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Watson & Lockett!
A wellspring of enthusiasm, vigour and gusto, Watson & Lockett, a folk duo based in Manchester, are back with a brand-new song ‘Quiet & Constant Companion’.
Drawing upon a variety of old staples, anchored by the duo’s knot-tight harmonies, the song barrels along at a riveting pace. Driven by shaker percussion, jangly mandolin, and strings in abundance, ‘Quiet & Constant Companion’ paints a heartfelt yet subtle picture of love, marriage, and a simple life made manifestly beautiful.
Releasing on Jan 18th, this song is paired superbly with ‘Throw Down Your Oars’. Two hits of folk perfection for the price of one! Watson & Lockett will be launching these songs at The Peer Hat, Manchester on Jan 18th.
You can follow Watson & Lockett on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/6GomBxc1XniVBHXVY7UoRJ to get the single as soon as it’s out!
