Neil Armstrong’s ‘In the Borderlands’: A Nostalgic Journey Through Love and Loss

“In the Borderlands” by Neil Armstrong Neil Armstrong steps onto our blog stage for the first time as an artist. His music pays tribute to the icons of the 80s, including The Cure, Tears For Fears, Pet Shop Boys, and Howard Jones. Oscillating between the realms of Synth-Pop/Rock and New Wave, Armstrong’s transnational work, fluctuating between Spain and Scotland, is expressed in his latest piece, “In the Borderlands.” The song takes us on an introspective journey through the nuances of human relationships, unfolding the complexity of interpersonal dynamics . It exposes these nuances on the operating table of music, bringing them to life with a nostalgic touch reminiscent of the 80s, thereby endowing the work with a soul.

Psychedelic Dream Pop touched by Melancholy: ‘You’re On My Mind’ (EP) by Cabin

Cabin (aka Adam McCabe)

Cabin

...(aka Adam McCabe) began crafting his songwriting and production skills as part of post-punk outfit Brass Phantoms, and has had his music featured on the likes of BBC Radio 6 with Steve Lamacq, Spotify’s Hot New Bands, Clash Magazine, Hot Press, The Last Mixed Tape, Golden Plec and more.
In producing, writing, recording, and mixing his work, Cabin offers a singular artistic voice, yet attempts to push beyond individual limitations into grander compositions. Drawing influence from the classic songwriters, his psychedelic sound is glittered with the palpable anxiety of Post-Punk, and exuberant tenderness of Soul music.



‘You’re On My Mind’ is the latest EP release from Dublin producer Cabin. Having launched the project with a collection of four distinct singles, Cabin returns with ‘You’re On My Mind’, an EP of reworked versions of the original four tracks. Complete with crisp drum machines, smooth electric piano, and warm guitars, these raw and moody interpretations are set to ground the songs and create the atmosphere of an expressive live performance.

Er war schon mal bei uns zu Gast und wird es auch noch öfters sein, die Rede ist von Cabin, Singer, Songwriter und Producer aus Dublin. Im Gepäck hat er seine EP "You're on my mind", bestückt hat er diese mit vier wunderbaren Tracks die er in einer alternativen stripped back Version aufgenommen hat. Psychedlische Melancholie meets Dream Pop die einen gefangen nimmt und so schnell nicht wieder los lässt.
Persönlich finde ich diese Versionen noch besser als ihre Originale und diese waren bereits richtig gut. In diesem Sinne, unbedingt mal reinhören, es lohnt sich auf alle Fälle.
