ELKYN – SINGLE REVIEW

Elkyn – If Only It Was Alright Now

Release Date: Out Now

Leeds’ Elkyn is back, and the one-man musical vehicle of one Joseph Donnelly has an absolute treat for us in the shape of new single, ‘If Only It Was Alright Now’. A gently lilting guitar melody reminds me of the rhythm of a train travelling away from home as fields roll by and Elkyn’s whispered vocal does its best to reassure you without disturbing the other passengers. The track builds and emerges with the epic energy of Snow Patrol or Elbow which makes it all the more impressive that all these ideas are coming out of one man’s head. Bleak but beautiful at the same time.
