Thomas MacGregor — Autopilot

Thomas MacGregor is back with the ‘Autopilot’ single. I dig the acoustic guitar tone on this one, kind of caresses the ear, and with the comfy tempo makes for a really chill listen. As usual Tom’s in the finest of voice and the vocal blend works so well on the hook. Keep an ear out for the debut album, due November.

Slow Exposure — Either Way EP

Slow Exposure’s extremely accomplished debut EP Either Way is out now. It’s tonally dark, hints of melancholy but explores edgier guitar at times, resulting in a warm, cathartic listen. It just feels well considered and complete.

Slow Exposure — Knocked Around

Slow Exposure’s next single ‘Knocked Around’ hits ahead of their debut EP. Retaining all the guitar dexterity, honest vocal, and tonal warmth of the prior single ‘Either Way,’ this one turns up the tempo and drives a little harder. The two singles painting a nice picture ahead of the EP launch on Sept 5th.

Stella Mayn — Be Okay! - EP

Stella Mayn’s debut EP ‘Be Okay!’ is out now. The EP effortlessly flows through a number of shades across four tracks: ‘Dreamworld’ forward, driving, danceable; ‘Sucker’ drops back, sits lower, with heavy synth bass; ‘The Bends’ closer, more intimate, with a nice airy vocal; and, ‘Better when you’re beside me’ brings the guitars. I dig the crisp production from the team and the always controlled and classily inflected vocal performance.
