we’ve just got in a lovely order of these t-shirts for the Narwhals single “Unstitched“!
a personalised design from Jacob, frontman of Narwhals, and printed locally here in Manchester by Crooked Cartoon – a lovely design and only 15 available!
the brand new single “Unstitched” from Narwhals is out now!
we’re super proud of this one, featuring the incredible talents of Thฤ Jaffa on vocals for “Unstitched“, and we love the b-side demo “Mirtazapine Dream“, a luscious grungey track. another incredible release on the label!
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new EP from Mort Jardin “Fragile“!
we’ve covered their music a bunch in the past, having released a bunch of incredible albums and EPs over the course of the past few years, laced with grungy goodness and melodic guitar riffs throughout – lovely stuff!
this new EP only continues that trend, coming in at just over 12 minutes in total it’s full of bangers. there’s a more intimate and indie-rock feel throughout, especially on the first track, and with a more electronic and synthy feel throughout, it’s a less heavy release compared to their earlier work, but it’s still got the familiar melodic guitarwork and driving groove that we’ve come to see from Mort Jardin.
the brand new single “Unstitched” from our very own Narwhals is out in a week!
we’re super looking forward to this one – it’s a gorgeous track, and there’s even a b-side that we can’t stop listening to.. it’s an incredible show of talent that is present in each of Narwhals’ releases. featuring the talents of Thรฉ Jaffa, we can’t wait for you guys to hear it!
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from VALA “On The Getaway“! ๐ฅช
we caught them at The Deaf Institute at the end of last year and were blown away by their stage presence, the quality of their songs and their supreme musicianship – fantastic stuff. we’ve covered their previous releases a bunch and we’re always looking forward to hearing new tunes from them! ๐
this new single sounds fantastic, taking a more lo-fi and pop sound to their music, whilst still maintaining their more indie/alternative origins – it’s a real laidback tune, with a lovely jazzy style guitar melody, waves of lead guitar enveloping the track and with a lovely mellow and conversationalist main vocal. it builds and builds throughout the tune superbly and culminates abruptly at the end – yet still making you want to go back and listen again! โ๏ธ
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is “Waterslide“, the brand new single from Norwich-based indie outfit Chest!ย
fusing indie-rock, punk and grunge elements, they’ve created a real unique sound to their music, with inspirations from post-punk and anthemic alternative rock; culminating in a lo-fi, atmospheric soundscape, chock-full of guitar melodies and riffs that encircle the listener, and with vocal harmonies laced throughout the entire track – all locked into a firm foundation with a driving and strong rhythm from the drums and bassline. an incredible tune, well worth a listen!
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from VALA “Fishes“!
we’ve been huge fans of VALA for a while now, having reviewed their past few singles which sound mega, a real lovely atmosphere to them and such a feel-good sound. we caught them at The Deaf Institute on Friday and they were class – well worth heading to one of their live shows!
this new single only extends to their already-fantastic discography, with a gorgeous guitar melody laying the foundation of the song, a tight rhythm holding it together and the main vocal utilising the space of the track superbly, especially with the use of the autotune to bring a more synthetic sound to the song – it’s still got the upbeat elements of their previous releases but brings all of their different influences to it, which is brilliant to see.
