Just The Crust 29/04/24: Keddy Sowels – Reflection ๐ŸŽถ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Keddy SowelsReflection“!

a regular face here in Manchester, he’s been performing across the city at gigs and open mics and already has some lovely tunes out – well worth checking them out; and his brand new single here marks a different direction for the indie-rock artist. ๐ŸŽธ

“Reflection” is more of an electronic track, moving away from the guitar-based indie anthemic tone of his previous tracks, with synths and electronic drums making their way to the forefront of the tune – and with less singing, more rapping – it shows a different side to his music. ๐ŸŽถ still maintaining the political and social commentary of his earlier tracks, it’s a stark look at the state of current society.

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/7erGB63SVoZJpFC7ABPHjf – check it out! ๐Ÿ’ฅ
