Just The Crust 16/10/23: James Wolf – Stargazing 🔭

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from James Wolf “Stargazing“!

we’ve known James for a good while now, with him performing for us regularly at our events and having had him play with his band at our last Cream of the Crop; his midwest-emo / 2000’s alternative-influenced sound is lovely and sets him apart as a songwriter.

this new single shows his lyrical prowess, but opens up his production technique and ability, taking a more electronic approach to his music – with dreamy synth lines, trap-inspired drum patterns and mellow and deep bass licks. the sonic atmosphere of this track is superb, creating a real elevated feel, and flowing incredibly throughout the chorus, a gorgeous contrast to the verses.

you can find the track in full on streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/track/16wFzGu9p3cQn0aohmqEHC – well worth a listen

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from PHIA SKY “supermoon“!

after a string of incredible releases throughout the past few years, and work in bands and acts across Manchester, PHIA SKY has returned with her first release since 2021 – and it sounds as good as ever, an incredible return for the electro-pop songwriter.

with an incredible creative electronic atmosphere surrounding the track, and a beautiful use of dynamic to really make the song pop, this one’s definitely one to check out. the use of contrasting synthesisers and sounds blend so well with one another, creating an eerie yet awe-inspiring backdrop for PHIA’s vocals to soar over, and really highlights her unique and intricate songwriting. the gorgeous soundscape of the track is present throughout, albeit in differing forms, yet maintaining a lovely sense of continuity throughout and ensuring that PHIA is one to watch here in the North West.

you can find the track in full over on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1uJ1OrPB052VTMHWzekmBU – give a spin and get immersed in a world of electropop goodness.

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Flowers Of Evil + The strangerz “Out of Bed“!

we’ve been huge fans of Flowers of Evil since we heard their track “Cherry-AID” last year, with their infectious energy, smooth groove and unexpected track flow and structure, they really put themselves as a force to be reckoned with on the North West scene!

this new single only reinforces their infectious upbeat style, with a gorgeous hook right from the get-go, only to explode into a huge electronic melody that’s sure to get anyone grooving. the dynamic of this song is lush, dropping away and breaking down immediately to push the focus on the vocal, becoming super intimate and proving their musical prowess. the balance between the verses and the choruses is expertly handled, it’s very difficult to create a contrast like this but they’ve pulled it off, the groove of the track is lovely and it flows super well.

the production of the song is fantastic, with really intrinsically created soundscapes, it keeps the attention of the listener so well and there’s a whole bunch of stuff going on, without feeling too much or chaotic in any way – the bridge is almost a dream-like state, flowing effortlessly throughout until it explodes into the final chorus that just gels the track together superbly. we can’t wait to hear this one live!

you can find it over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0m3FoEPROirtK5hZpJV7W4 – it’s available to check out on all streaming sites, and is well worth a full listen! another incredible release under their belts.
