Alf Whitby – Beach (My Little Empire
Alf Whitby - Beach
Records)
Release Date: Out Now
Mancunian Alf Whitby might sound
like a saucy bus driver from the 60s but he’s actually a deeply talented artist
with a new album on the way. However, before we get to that, there’s this
delightfully wistful single to deal with and ‘Beach’ takes a little dealing
with. The softest of touches on the guitar and the faintest of vocals drift in
on an Irish Sea breeze creating the kind of soundscape that has the structural
integrity of mist but the power of a hot knife through flesh. There are elements
of Thom Yorke to the vocals and more than a hint of Nick Drake to the arrangements
but this is mainly Alf Whitby in his own unique beauty.
