A masterclass in shimmering jangle pop. Think the driving, melodic basslines of The War on Drugs meets the jangly, guitar-driven optimism of R.E.M. and The Church.
The EP showcases a new master of Greg’s debut solo single alongside two unreleased mixes of the original version by the legendary Kevin Shirley (Divinyls, Hoodoo Gurus, Cold Chisel).
Every Day It’s Your Birthday is a 3:06 dose of chiming guitars and jangling joie de vivre, with sea air in your senses and summer on the radio, propelled by a jangle pop masterclass from Ashley Naylor.
The original version of the song is more sombre and melancholic with some lyrics different to the single. Together they tell a story about how regret and longing, joy and celebration can inhabit one song.
Rock Song (Radio Edit) does what it says on the tin… it really is a rock song. Imagine Iggy Pop fronting early Psychedelic Furs and you’re halfway there.
My Blues (Uncut) is a self-mocking, riff-driven romp inspired by The Who and driven by Ashley Naylor’s snarling Divinyls-like licks and searing Jeff Beck styled lead guitar.
Just for Fun featuring a star turn on Vox organ by Elvis Costello and The Attractions/Imposters’ Steve Nieve is the new single from the album Stone On Stone.
It comes with an alternative mix of album track Images of Love, revealing Steve Nieve’s multi-layered keyboard ‘orchestra’ topped by shimmering Beatle-esque harmonies.
