The Ink Released 26th September 2011 On first listen to this I thought it was perhaps a bit of an odd choice for a single as it didn’t really grab me. However, time is what this track requires and the more I listen to it the more I kind of get it, but still not … Continue reading

Single Review: Zulu Winter – Never Leave
Never Leave Released 7th November 2011 The driving beat of this track is what initially caught my attention, those drums work hard to push the track ever forward and keep the track upbeat rather than letting it drag into something that could easily have become very shoegazy and possibly almost dreary. Shoegaze is all the … Continue reading
