Tancred – Reviews

Tancred (aka Maine-based musician Jess Abbott) has announced the follow-up to 2016’s well-received long player Out of The Garden.

The propulsive song showcases Abbott’s strong melodic sensibilities balanced with purposeful, well-placed instrumentation, but one that cunningly sugarcoats the introspection and vulnerability that help make her work so … Continue reading Tancred – Reviews

New Courtney Barnet Track

Here is the second track from Courtney Barnett’s upcoming long player Tell Me How You Really Feel. Need A Little Time is a more fragile, tender beast than we are perhaps used to and hints at further depths while its plaintive tone and floating arrangement makes it just as memorable as the fizzing punk tones of first single Nameless Faceless. Watch the excellent video for it … Continue reading New Courtney Barnet Track
