The Marbles Jackson - No More Feeling Like
Artist: London based 4-piece lo-fi alternative rock outfit
The Marbles Jackson
Song: 'No More Feeling Like' - blossoming,
balmy shoegaze sound
Rawly, distantly reverberating and seemingly vague instrumental gimmicks add to the genuine compositional charm of 'No More Feeling Like' that derives from languorous vastness and celestial, tenuously soaking-in atmosphere in sound. With smoothly lulling, sensitive vocals of piercing timbric colour and at times rousing, at times receeding melodic dynamics, a feeling of blissful flair and comforting but fragile tranquility is conveyed and there to linger alongside with a firmer grasp of what balanced and expansive dreamy pop music should sound like.

Johnny Sand - I Am The Ocean (demo)
Artist: Liverpool based singer/songwriter
(and music promoter!) Johnny Sands
Song: 'I am The Ocean' (demo) -
guitar-driven and poetically longing acoustic splendorPassionately struck chords of vivace spirit and smooth resonance dictate the rhythm, whilst strong and soulful vocals of ear-pleasing, impressive volume and poignant expressivity breathe soul into the laid-back but emotionally stirring compositional current that is 'I Am The Ocean' (demo).
An inspiring and mellifluous musical fusion of electronic ludic drive and velvet melodic tenderness, however, is provided with 'Arno Arno', yet to be released on the singer/songwriter's forthcoming album. Following Johnny Sands' venturous musical roaming, it shows with shiny radiance and clarity that the singer/songwriter merges what is meant to be together: heart-rending, keen lyricism and acoustic verve with a well-placed hint of invigorating electronic stimulus.

North of Wales and Cheshire
Song: 'Schnitzler' - imbuing and tenebrous yet dreamful musical balm

Hollow, languid still dynamically driven drum beats set the tone whilst dainty and elusively swerving melodic patterns deepen the overall atmospheric sound of the song. Proper eclectic and gripping music of both mild and tense fluency.
