Ross Palmer - Reassurance EP
Ross Palmer - Reassurance |
Mr Ross Palmer is a bit of an all
rounder and has his fingers in various musical pies at the moment but this solo
collection is an island of tranquillity in what is the raging torrent of modern
life. This four track EP opens with the title track, 'Reassurance', which has a
charming resemblance to David Kitt but
with a more downbeat, Evan Dando-ish feel. 'That's Not You' is altogether
perkier and the guitars purr atop a bass line that pulsates under Palmer's
understated vocals to create a heart-felt slice of indie with a hint of
shoegazing thrown in for good measure. There is a summery melancholy to 'Teach Me
To Believe' that Karen Carpenter used to achieve with effortlessness. This
brief collection closes with 'Little Differences' and although the tempo is a
little higher the sombre tones are still there for all to see amid all the gently
strummed acoustic guitars and shuffling drums. I can't see Ross Palmer selling
out stadiums any time soon but if you want something to listen to while you
drink that first cup of tea on a grey Sunday morning then this just might be
what you're looking for.
