Why We Like It: Wrapped in emotive vocals ‘Whole Heart’ is a beautifully haunting new indie folk single. The track exudes an earthy soundscape as warm guitar strums and plucks through a richly weaved tapestry of rhythms. Reid’s warm rasp coo’s over a supple guitar for the delicate verses however as the song progresses a cello warms the backdrop enhancing the rhythmic pulls and vibrant textures within. Rich in tone ‘Whole Heart’ is a compelling new single from an extremely talented songwriter.

Intervene
Genre : Alternative
Bio : Intervene are an Alt-rock five-piece from South Yorkshire who mix post-punk influences with a 90’s UK Indie sound.
Track: The Conquering
Why We Like It: It’s an abrasive storm of alternative post-punk. Jagged guitar riffs slice through a resounding bass rumble and punchy drum battering as Intervene showcase their refined chaotic sound in all its glory. The maelstrom of crashing instrumentation breaks momentarily for light guitar embellishments that whine in psychedelic turmoil – simply wonderful. With aggressive shouted vocals and 60’s-hued organ-esque meanderings on keys ‘The Conquering’ is a fantastic new single.
