Just The Crust 09/01/22: Kyle Toolan – Overcast 💥

our feature for today’s Just The Crust feature is the brand new debut single from Kyletoolanmusic “Overcast” 🤘

a familiar face on the Manchester scene nowadays, Kyle has been performing across the city at gigs and open mics and making a name for himself, playing mellow indie-rock tunes influenced by artists such as The 1975 and Sam Fender – with a huge amount of original songs under his belt now too! 👊

this debut single from him, “Overcast“, is a great introduction into his work. starting out with a grungey, droney guitar rhythm backed with a steady and maintained drumbeat and bassline, it flows super well throughout the track and the lead guitar adds a lovely contrast to the backdrop of the song, giving it a forward push throughout the track. Kyle’s vocal is restrained, almost conversational – but puts the focus on his lyricism which is personal, yet honest; showing the songwriting style he’s prolific within. the bridge is gorgeous too, balancing harmonies and breakdowns to give the track room to breathe, til it opens back up for the final chorus! ⚡️

you can find the tune over on all the streaming platforms, or the full music video on YouTube at https://youtu.be/NfgKp4RJYqU – well worth a watch!
