The Boy From the South – Home Sweet
Home
(Vegan Sausage Roll Records)
Release Date: Out Now
The accompanying email to this
submission declares The Boy From the South to be a Spaniard-Londoner who loves
roadtripping across Cornwall and Devon in search of the perfect Cornish Pasty.
I’m already sold but then I hear ‘Home Sweet Home’ and I’m doubling down on the
love. The track opens with the automated announcement from some train platform
which makes me nostalgic for public transport before the sliding and rippling
acoustic guitar notes join in with the undulating energy of fields rolling past
on the horizon. Vocally, this is an incredibly easy listen and the addition of
a simple but effective pulsating beat gives this a sort of Air meets Lemon Jelly
vibe that I am entirely in to. Next time you’re on the look out for a pasty
then head down to Downderry and give us a visit.
