Isa & The Filthy Tongues – ‘New Town Killers’With a sound that is a throwback to Jesus and Mary Chain (with a little higher voice range), this one's for lovers of heavy, damp reverberation in their music. The thumping bass decorates a seedy atmosphere that keeps up the tempo in this gloomy but cool track.
Brigada Mercy – ‘Roto Chico’
Musically sounding like a dark cabaret with a drunk guy singing in a karaoke, this lyrically weepy number is all about castigating blame. The music is interesting, but the vocals aren't. On a slight nitpick, it should be written as 'Chico Roto', not 'Roto Chico'.
Samuel Valdes Lopez
Tommy Reilly-‘Gimme A Call’
Released as this years Orange unsigned act winner, Reilly’s first single is a
well crafted song which manages to be both uplifting and haunting throughout.
However, he fails to be distinctive compared to his singer-songwriter contemporaries, which in that burgeoning genre unfortunately makes this song ultimately forgettable.
Will Young-‘Let it Go’
Despite having moments of interest this is virtually indistinguishable from
every other pop ballad. Although competent enough, this first single fails to
raise any anticipation for the arrival of the new album it comes from. Expect
to hear this one in the background of depressing clip montages.
Matt Smith
Peter Doherty – ‘Last of the England Roses’
There’s not a lot to say about this one. It’s a lot less of a shambles (no pun intended on his collective musical venture) than some of his previous releases so it shows some promise, but it just doesn’t really go anywhere. The chorus falls flat and his voice sounds decidedly out of tune. Not impressed.
