Just The Crust 18/03/24: Zara Smile – Pretty πŸŒ™

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Zara Smile, “Pretty“! πŸ‘Š

after a fantastic run of singles over the past few months, following the release of their EP last year, they’ve returned with another incredible release here with the intimate and soulful “Pretty“. we’ve covered a bunch of their previous tunes and always love to hear new music from the Liverpool-based songwriter πŸŒ™

this new single continues with the intimate, introspective nature of their previous releases, with expertly crafted lyricism that paints a picture so well, a calm and collected guitar pattern forming the foundation of the track, and Zara’s smooth and melodic vocal ensuring the listener’s attention is focused on them – as the track flows through, the rhythm section comes in and compliments the feel of the song superbly, feeling calm and serene throughout, maintaining the focus on Zara’s lyricism and vocals πŸ™Œ

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0zzqgVJD0zGnaoNBtslwQb – well worth a listen! 🎧

Just The Crust 11/03/24: Casinos – Inescapable πŸ‘Š

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from CasinosInescapable“! πŸ‘Š

we’ve covered Casinos a bunch in the past, with their first two singles sounding mega and really establishing them a force in the indie rock circuit here in Manchester, having performed a bunch over the past few years and getting back to gigging this year – definitely ones to watch. 🎢

their new single here sounds fantastic – taking a much more relaxed tone compared to the heavy hitting power anthem vibe of their previous singles, opening up with an intimate acoustic guitar with Matt’s vocal inviting the listener in so calmly, bringing you into his world, with conversationalist lyricism and delicate lead guitar tones – and with a tight rhythm gluing the track together, and luscious synth lines lacing the atmosphere, it sounds proper lovely. the track builds so well through to the last chorus, gaining traction throughout til the finale where it breaks down and becomes super intimate again. β˜€οΈ

you can find the track in full on all streaming platforms, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1iKXuTBqrvGSZTNvBeRhZ9 – well worth checking out all their tunes! 🎀
