Just The Crust 23/12/24: Anne-Marie Sanderson – Bright Air ✨

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Anne-Marie SandersonBright Air“! 🌙

we’ve covered her music in the past, her debut album “Old Light“, which came out in September, and it was a real joy to listen to – such well crafted tracks, lovely atmospheres throughout and an incredible debut 👊

this new single, which was released on the 15th of December, only continues with the trend of delicate, intricately woven songs – it’s a tale of ebb and flow, within the winter months; the piano pattern sets the scene for the track, and Anne-Marie’s vocal soars above, telling her tale in a descriptive and inviting fashion; there’s a real lovely natural flow throughout the tune that really sets it apart from the rest 🤝

you can find it on all streaming platforms, including on YouTube where you can watch the lyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K_AUEjitAc 🎶

Just The Crust 16/12/24: Moss Valley – Creature 👊

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Creature” from Moss Valley 🤘

their second offering, we loved their previous debut “Beyond“, which was an explosive and fierce introduction to the band – and when we had them perform for us, we were astounded by their stage presence and musical prowess! a must-see band 💥

this new single continues with their grungey sounds of the debut, yet with a more fast-paced, punky atmosphere – a real powerful guitar line forming the foundation of the track, with massive rhythm from the bass and drums working in perfect unison to provide a driving groove to the tune, leaving plenty of space for lead singer Zara’s vocal to take charge 👊 and with expert lyricism, depicting the story of a being that attempts to go against the grain, told in a well-woven tale 🌙

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/22cnKmwF5A496WEEVP4qfG – well worth checking out ✨
