From Digital Scams to Musical Triumphs: The Story Behind Single Audio Channel’s ‘My Beloved Friend’

“My Beloved Friend” by Single Audio Channel As we lie in the grass, gazing up at the vast expanse of the sky, a wave of Indie-Brit-Pop melodies envelops us, transporting us back to the genre’s golden era. It’s a moment that teeters on the edge of sentimentality, where one could easily get lost in the longing to experience that groundbreaking sound for the very first time. Amid the verdant tapestry of sound, a sanctuary emerges in the form of Single Audio Channel’s inaugural anthem, “My Beloved Friend.” This composition transcends mere auditory addition, it heralds the renaissance of Indie and BritPop’s core ethos. The track distinguishes itself immediately, adorned with guitar riffs that not only strike a chord of recognition but also exude a profound veracity. A sophisticated symphony, a nuanced nod to the past, yet boldly imprinted with the here and now.

"Anon. (Goldfish In My Bathtub)" by Eleanor Joy


Eleanor Joy

Singer-songwriter Eleanor Paine, hailing from Manchester, started creating under the alias ‘Eleanor Joy’ in early 2021. Defined by her captivating Dark Pop that implements haunting melodies and immersive lyrical content, she romanticises her exploration of the alternative with a deep sense of longing.

Having had a musical upbringing under the context of worship, it was only in 2014 that Eleanor began to explore music and its various forms of existence, this impacted her songwriting style and lead to lyrically focused music. Influenced by artists such as Kate Bush, Keaton Henson, Moddi and Leonard Cohen, her songwriting is a cohesion of emotive lyrical content, ethereal melodies and themes of reflection and relationships.

Currently studying Songwriting at Leeds Conservatoire, Eleanor is continually working on her “Know me by name” project, with the first two singles released in early 2021 ‘Eleanor (Loneliest Girl)’, and ‘Mara (October Evening).

Anon. (Goldfish In My Bathtub)

Mit dieser Veröffentlichung zeigt Eleanor Paine erneut ihre Qualität im Songwriting. Durch die metaphorisch sprich sinnbildhafte Erzählung, arbeitet sie das Thema heraus. Reflexion, Trauer aber auch die menschliche Entwicklung werden musikalisch aufbereitet. Perfekt ausgearbeitet. Ganz im Sinne ihrer Vorbilder oder ihrer künstlerischen Einflüsse. Ich würde es eventuell riskieren und die Szenerie so beschreiben: "ein 3 1/2 minütiges Schauspiel in dem ein regieführender Leonard Cohen, Kate Bush bestens in Szene setzt", auch wenn es gewagt ist, denke ich dass es in etwa so hinkommt, bester Alternative Folk plus einem leichten Art Pop Touch versehen mit der Handschrift von Eleanor Paine respektive Joy.
