This week’s edition of LITM Singer-Songwriter Picks features pieces from Alexander Mountain and more!
Alexander Mountain - “Romanticise”
Alexander Mountain, a singer-songwriter from East Sussex, channels the influences of Gabrielle Aplin, Bon Iver, and more into his musical style — seamlessly weaving fine cloth in his latest release, “Romanticise” — a delightfully sweet and soulful number that bares the soul of the vocals, supported by the gently strummed acoustic guitars. The upfront presentation of the vocals is quite tasteful, as the harmonies unfold to create a lush carpet of vocal layers. This is round out quite nicely by the wide, powerful mix and the full-bodied sound. All in all, a winner of a track! Check it out here:
Al Shalilker - “Six White Horses”
Al Shalliker, an alt-folk singer-songwriter from Plymouth, England, brings his rich songwriting heritage from the band Watershed into his solo work, and on his latest single, “Six White Horses”, he presents a sound soaked in the nostalgia of country and folk music that would take one right back to green, lush meadows and sunshine. With a sound that evolves as beautifully as the mellow countryside day, this track takes you by pleasant surprise with its soulful vocals and spirited storytelling, supported beautifully by the guitars and the harmonicas in the background. Check out the track here!
Ryan McMurtry- “One More Night”
Ryan McMurtry is an emerging singer-songwriter from Bristol, UK, known for his intimate, folk-inspired music that takes a page out of the good old sound of the 80s and 90s pop book — and on his latest single, “One More Night”, he sings his heart out in a gentle melody, supported by the percussion and the warm, welcoming electric guitars in the background. The melodic arrangement of the track is the standout on this track, with sweeping solo sections that lull you to a world another with no effort at all. The brasses and the basses make for extra listening candy as you find yourself heading into this world — and it’s a winner of a track overall! Take a listen toe the track here:
Patricio Anabalon - “El Viento en los Sauces”
Patricio Anabalón is a celebrated Chilean singer-songwriter, poet, and lecturer born in Santiago in 1975. Known for his influential work in Latin American music and poetry, he brings his latest to “El Viento en los Sauces” — a beautiful jazz-infused melody with inklings of soul and RnB that make your heart sway to the gentle rhythms from the start of the song. The vocals are passionate and emotive, adding to the heartwarming feel of the song, while the instrumentation brings its own charm and charisma to the fore. With a beautiful execution of the ensemble, there’s a beauty to the way this song comes together — and we’re fans! Check out the track here:
Toby TomTom - “I Need A Yoko”
Toby TomTom is a multi-talented musician and songwriter known for his genre-blending style that fuses folk, hip-hop, electronica, jazz, and rock. With his latest single, “I Need A Yoko”, he draws on both classic and contemporary influences, bringing together the charm of soft rock with the welcoming sound of indie pop — all packaged into an alt-rock package that packs quite the punch from beginning to end. With gentle guitars and ample reverb to fill up the space with warmth and atmosphere, this track is quite the journey to listen to. Check out the track here!
