1st May 20231st May 2023artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Champagne On The Rocks UK “Golden Hour“!

we caught these guys live last year or so and were amazed by their energetic stage presence and slick lyrical ability, and their debut single “Malibu” sounds fantastic – this new tune only expands on their talent!

led by a lovely melodic guitar pattern, paired with a country-esque lead riff – it sets a gorgeous backdrop for the calm and composed main vocal to sit above. the relaxed atmosphere is a lovely breath of fresh air in a music scene that often relies on heavier elements to keep the energy going, and the lyricism on this is lovely, a real outburst of feeling and emotion. as the track progresses, the drums give it a new element of energy without taking away from the relaxed atmosphere of the track, and it sounds fantastic. well worth a listen!

you can find it on all of the streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/3vFQq1saL9BjqUPLYunf56 – give it a spin and add it to your playlists!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Daniel Darley “To Feel Love Closer” out this Friday!

we’ve caught Daniel performing a bunch across Manchester over the course of the last year or so, and even had him on a few gigs ourselves – we were huge fans of his debut single “Faking” and his cool, calm and collected stage presence.

this new song only shows off his talent, and captures his live atmosphere perfectly – laden with gorgeous vocalwork, and a beautiful soundscape behind him, it shows off not only his vocal ability, but his talent to be able to craft a beautiful song. the feeling of the track is relaxed, yet maintains an eerie state of tension throughout as it builds – and you can hear all sorts of influences in the track, yet it’s come to be something that Daniel can truly call his own. one of our favourites from him so far!

you can pre-save the track over at https://ffm.to/tofeellovecloser to get it in your libraries as soon as it’s out, and it’s well worth doing so, an incredible follow-up to his debut.

we’ve caught Bay perform a bunch of times now, and they are always astounding, able to hold the audience in the palm of their hand; with well-written and carefully constructed tracks, and a controlled and expertly delicate live presence, we always love catching Bay play at gigs.

this is their first full release, and it perfectly captures the atmosphere that they convey live – it’s a gorgeous and super easy listen, with beautiful soundscapes enveloping the tracks, it really feels like you’re in Bay’s story and they’re detailing every aspect of it perfectly, with the strength of the storytelling and songwriting throughout. there’s waves of serenity throughout, and the songs feel so inviting – it’s a super gorgeous release packed with dynamic intensity, still calmness and production value that is second to none. we’ve heard some of the singles in the past, but in the full context of the album they’ve only got stronger – there’s a fantastic flow to the release that only accentuates the skill conveyed throughout each track.
