Must Be An Angel: Lola Lennox Releases Second Single, ‘Pale’ Into World Of Grief And Uncertainty

April 30, 2020

Lola Lennox released her debut single ‘In The Wild’ back in February, and without a doubt, the world has become a most unrecognisable place in those two short months. Lola has released her second track, ‘Pale’, on April 17, and hoped it would bring some comfort to those in the throes of grief and uncertainty. Although originally a song which examined Lola’s own personal battle with grief over the tragic loss of a loved one, ‘Pale’ takes on a whole other significance in light of COVID-19.

Pezzettino – ‘From A Window, Big Sur’

April 28, 2020

Margaret Stutt, working since 2008 under the name of Pezzettino, will be releasing her 10 inch EP, ‘Venus’, her 11th release under that name. From it comes the single, ‘From A Window, Big Sur’, is a dramatic piano and strings track, the instruments lightly framing her airy vocals, the finished product resonating in effect the sound of waves breaking on rocks, seagulls catching the air, and gentle breezes.

LA Alt Rock Band Trope Cover Tears for Fears Classic ‘Shout’

April 27, 2020

When I started sixth form in secondary school, we were taken away on a camp, to focus and unite us. We had to split into small groups and work on projects that we’d been allocated. I can’t remember anything further, apart from that one group used the Tears For Fears song, ‘Shout’, and it resonated with everyone so much so that it became the theme of the rest of our camp, and we sang it all the way back to school (until we were told to be quiet as the upper sixth form were doing exams).

Howlin’ Whale – ‘Many Lives’

April 24, 2020

Harmonica player and vocalist Howlin’ Whale is not some briny sea captain, creating evocative shanties while enduring long and hard nights at sea. She is however one of the classiest players of the harp you’ll ever likely to come across, and with her instrument evokes the sounds of the wild: bird calls, frogs, insects, waves crashing – and trains. In her latest single, ‘Many Lives’, Howlin’ Whale takes us back to where she grew up, and brings to life the memory of the train echoing through the woods.
