Song, By Toad Records continues to flourish in a way that makes many green with envy. Me? Well, I’m pleased to see a friend doing well -and I mean that most sincerely, folks ((c) Hughie Green).
On November 15 (my birthday, though I’m sure that is coincidental
), Yusuf Azak will rel
ease his debut album on the label, entitled Turn On The Young Wire.
This
song ‘Eastern Sun’ is being released as a free download. Considering how I have been inundated with samey singer-songwriter submissions of late, it is great to hear the Aberdonian anti-folk artist releasing something so good, and turning the genre on its’ head.
I’ve heard his two awesome EPs, Gazelle and Light Procession and I
can’t wait to hear the album in full. For now enjoy this, which I have played four times already this evening…comparisons to Nick Drake are, for once, entirely deserved. And go and download those two EPS here
