As the song begins to grow, a gentle guitar part and dynamic percussive elements are introduced. Dulcima Showan\u2019s vocals then join the track, and it becomes clear just how well their two voices work together.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They dance around each other taking it in turns to sing the harmony and the melody. Dulcima\u2019s vocals float freely and ethereally above the track, whilst Tomas\u2019 tones carve a space for themselves in the tenor regions. The track has an incredibly rich and full bodied sound, and showcases how well this young duo work and create together. Charming, folk-infused, and with a twist of classic pop \u2013 the track is a real music triumph.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Touching on religion, love, and mental health, this E.P. manages to be sincere and yet fun, which is no mean feat. They have managed to combine artful song writing with highly relatable subject matters, and in doing so have created tracks that are truly beautiful.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Having already sold out a gig at the O2 Academy in Islington in March, things seem to be on an upwards trajectory for this indie-pop pair.
