Rhys E Shares Addictive New EP ‘Sound & Colour’

Following a string of single releases this year, Brit rocker Rhys E is back with his brand new project ‘Sound & Colour’, featuring 4 unheard gems. Keeping the classic indie-rock flame alive, Rhys E adds a fresh spin to nostalgic sounds, creating sonics that are utterly addictive. With an instantly recognisable vocal quality, Rhys’ candid, tongue in cheek lyrics layer on top of soaring strings and spirited percussion. Each of the 6 records provide their own individual flair, making the EP an eclectic and entertaining body of work.

Speaking on the tracks, Rhys E revealed, “I recorded these songs last year over 3 days with my guitarist and co-producer Tom Hale and I’m excited for them to finally be out.”

Rhys E hails from North West England and has been releasing music since April 2020. After being picked up by Tim Burgess and getting radio play on BBC Radio 6 and Radio XS Manchester, he assembled a very tight band and has been gigging extensively round the country, with a mixture of headline gigs and support slots for the likes of Thomas Headon and Jonny Brown (Twisted Wheel). Showing no signs of slowing down, this rising artist is headed for big things.

“Keep T Moving” shows Meas & Riddie’s fresh approach to house music

Meas & Riddie release their debut, “Keep T Moving,” a fusion of youthful vigor and classic electronic character. Meas & Riddie produced the track, and these two young artists have already built a clear connection with House music while still leaving room to experiment and make music on their own terms.

“Keep T Moving” is a powerful electronic and house record that speaks to the duo’s love of fusing old-school 909 sounds with more modern synths. This distinction gives the track its main artistic direction, fusing a familiar electronic base with a modern edge. Meas & Riddie see those influences as part of the sound they are beginning to make their own.

As their first independent Spotify release, “Keep T Moving” also captures the thrill of a beginning, of two young musicians stepping into the scene without putting unnecessary limits on where their sound can go. 17-year-old Riddie and 15-year-old Meas share an uncommon sense of youthful dedication on their debut release. Their age is part of the story, but more interesting is their willingness to explore on their own terms. “Keep T Moving” definitely sets the direction, but leaves plenty of room for Meas & Riddie to build on their sound with future releases.

Max Ceddo captures one-sided communication on latest release “So You Say”

Max Ceddo takes a frustrating one-sided conversation and makes it the centerpiece of “So You Say,” a song built around communication that never seems to go anywhere. It’s a relatable portrait of the frustration of constantly trying to engage another person in conversation, only to be met with little reciprocation.

The lyrics make that imbalance clear from the beginning, “All you seem ever to say is So you say.” Every time someone calls to talk to me, the narrator says, the other person listens and says nothing, and the narrator wonders why they even called. Even the greeting seems to be limited: “all you ever say is hi at the beginning.” The repetition signals a relationship caught in a frustrating pattern.

What gives “So You Say” its character is how directly it complains. There is no need to dress up the problem, one person wants communication, while the other seems unable or unwilling to give it. “You cant speak cause all you ever say is so you say” brings the idea back around, so the repetition is part of the message itself. Max Ceddo captures the weariness of talking when no one talks back.
