Needles and Suspenders


A lovely little song by a very very new Exeter University student.

Needles and Suspenders is an infectious pop number of the best tradition - sounding like it was recorded in one take on a bedroom 4-track (it probably was), yet letting this mask a very clever song structure and ambitious vocals.

Jamie T comparisons are inevitable, but this is set apart by its scuzzy, lofi feel and tinny synth-electro beats, which gives this an honest, raw emotional appeal - the sort of music tough boys can well-up to.

s.k.g - needles and suspenders


Look out for him at a Lofi Hifi in the near future.
