CORYNDON BELL – SINGLE REVIEW

Coryndon Bell – Bangkok 
Coryndon Bell - Single Review


Release Date: 21st October 2017

There are various ways in which music reaches me here in my blog cave but this is a first. The music of Coryndon Bell has arrived in my ears courtesy of a business card changing hands with one of his family members in my local pub over the summer and that’s just peachy as far as I’m concerned. Coryndon Bell's forthcoming single ‘Bangkok’ is a frosty morning of a song, the kind of frosty morning where you’re up early to take a trip towards home but you know it’s going to be a long one. The acoustic notes ripple like the first rumblings of a boiling kettle and Coryndon Bell’s intimate vocal is soft and gentle like an awakening yawn. This is a sub-three minute slice of indie-acoustica in the vein of Bon Iver or Badly Drawn Boy but it has a fragile beauty in its simplicity that is hard not to fall in love with. If John Lewis are reading this (and I know they are, they’re everywhere) then this is your Christmas advert song sorted for you, a proper tear jerker if placed on a video of someone battling Paddington Station on Christmas Eve to get home from their soulless office job in time to put the mince pie out for Santa with the kids. What do you mean it’s too early for Christmas? It’s never too early…..
