| Michael James - Tomato Sauce |
Release Date: Out Now
I feel like Scotland hasn’t been
sending me much music lately and I’m not sure what I’ve done to upset my Northern
cousins (literally, I’m like an eighth Scottish) but I’m glad to have received
this peace offering in the form of Aberdeenshire lad Michael James. This latest
demo, ‘Tomato Sauce’, is a rippling acoustic number with a soft, shuffling beat
and then there’s a voice that just leaps out at you from behind the curtains.
Michael James’ voice is part Belle and Sebastian twee-indie and part 1930s
novelty crooner which, surprisingly, really works as a delivery method but also
as an attention grabbing calling card. There’s a jaunty melody that’s hard not
to love despite the Bond-esque instrumental section and overall this has a
personality all of its own which is a rarity these days. Let’s never fall out
again Scotland…..it was probably your fault anyway.
