‘Garden of Letters’ by Carlos Ucedda

‘Garden of Letters’ by  Carlos Ucedda Carlos Ucedda, who has been very active this year, also ends the year with one last great release. As always, the keyword is art-pop, and this year he has given it an enormously colourful variety, combining it with avant-garde pop or a touch of post-punk and dark wave.  ‘Garden of Letters’, the new release, follows the path of 80s dream/synth pop and provides a wonderful musical framework for the lyrics. The lyrics thematise the duality of love and loss. The song shows how love can be a source of joy and inspiration as well as pain and longing. The preservation and remembrance of past feelings indicate an attempt to preserve the emotional value and meaning of past relationships. The capriciousness of love, the failure of romantic promises, and the search for meaning and comfort in memories of past affection.   The listener is invited to reflect on the transience and emotional complexity of human relationships.

Solitude Sometimes Is debuts with a garage-punk blast and a brassy twist on “You Left Early”

“You Left Early” by Solitude Sometimes Is

Solitude Sometimes Is is the exciting new project from South London musician Owen James, who has just released his debut single “You Left Early” on No Distance Records. The song is a catchy and energetic garage-punk tune that surprises with a brassy horn section that adds a touch of class and fun
Owen says he was inspired by old Sixties pop with big brass sections, but he also gave the trumpet sound a modern twist with a punchy, hectic, New Wave vibe. The result is a song that sounds fresh and original, while also paying homage to the past. “You Left Early” is the first taste of Solitude Sometimes Is’ upcoming album “Float”, which is set to be released in September. 
Owen showcases his musical talent by playing most of the instruments on the album, but he also enlisted the help of a special guest on the drums: Alex Reeves, the drummer for Elbow and many other amazing musicians. 
The song is also a personal and emotional one, as it is based on the book ‘You Left Early: A True Story of Love and Alcohol’, where writer Louisa Young shares her experience of being in love with an alcoholic. Solitude Sometimes Is delivers a powerful and memorable single that makes us eager to hear more from this promising project.
