Water Street - Everest
Experience renewed Americana inspired by the northwest hills of NJ in the shadow of the Appalachian Ridge, in the soundscapes of Water Street. Everest, the latest release, showcases their distinct, genre-bending americana aesthetic—a fusion of heartfelt acoustic melodies with raw, energetic bursts of rock and roll, smooth funk infusions, and roots-tinged atmospheres. Reflective acoustic strums play alongside soft electric guitar riffs. Weight bass notes and gentle drums move to a smooth groove. The singer’s soulful vocal melodies shift between slender melodies and passionate passages, with easing, disarming skill. Lush backing vocals mesmerize. Velvety, fluid sax tunes amplify the state of soft feeling, drawing you deeper in. Everest is as soothing as it is stirring. Listen here!
Dave Clark - America
Dave Clark, singer-songwriter and guitarist from north of England and currently based in East London, brings beautiful soundscapes that feature soulful melodies, nuanced arrangements, and introspective lyricism inspired by personal life and wider issues. America, the latest release, is a profound, poignant commentary and reflection on America and modern society with a focus on personal struggles. Richly-layered, radiant, and reflective acoustic guitar melodies form an intricate, riveting musical backdrop. Soft, thumping percussion anchors the music to a steady rhythm, creating a slow momentum that allows the story to stand out. Dave’s mature, emotive vocals narrate the lyrics with a heartfelt honesty and tenderness that is as heart-rending as it is thought-provoking. America by Dave Clark is moving. Listen here!
