Seth Lumsden to release debut ‘Who You Tryin’ To Kid?’ EP in June | Music News

Posted on by

Scottish singer-songwriter Seth Lumsden is to release his debut 6 song EP, Who You Tryin’ To Kid?, as a digital-only download on 1st June. The troubadour, who lives in a cottage in the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs Country Park, has been earning rave reviews north of the border and is cut from the same cloth as such broken-hearted singer-songwriters like Bright Eyes, Tim Buckley, Nick Drake and Elliott Smith.

The recording was self-produced in Seth’s bedroom over the past year and features a cover of Elliott Smith’s “Between The Bars” as well as five other original tracks.

The ‘Who You Tryin’ To Kid?’ EP is available here from 1st June

 

Wildeflower to release debut single | Music News

Surrey popsters Wildeflower will release their debut single ‘Good Girl’ via Stella Mortos on May 14th. The 6 piece band from Englefield Green, Surrey are led by Max Kinghorn-Mills and marry influences from revival/progressive Nick Drake, Bert Jansch and Fairport Convention with the modern, swirling patterns of Caribou and Four Tet.

As introductions go, ‘Good Girl’ is richly evocative, showcasing the group’s sound: spring-reverb, warm piano flourishes and flickering percussion. Amazing Discovery’ saunters down a well-trodden pastoral path into a leafy mantra: ‘Sound surround the earth and help me wonder’.

Recording took place last summer in bedrooms and the Beaconsfield countryside with Chris Smith (Fractal Skulls). Max explains further,  “I wanted to keep these recordings organic, avoid cold production; so we recorded some parts outside in the fields.” Max put the video together with clips he’d filmed during the recordings with friends.

‘Good Girl’ is released via Stella Mortos on 14th May
