John McDonough - Nowhere else to run

Picture this; it's a hot summers day, you're driving down a country road, hair in the wind. You just broke up with your ex. Now try and imagine what music you'd be playing. Well after listening to John McDonough's single "Nowhere else to run" I know for sure this is one I would choose.

This song is a colossal musical mascara of both countrified acoustic guitar strokes and folk-esque vocals. Every note sung throughout this track is beautiful.

What lies underneath is a deep, emotional meaning. Coming at a time when social interaction has been at an all time low, reduced to little more than Zoom calls and snatched meetings in parks. "Nowhere else to run" couldn't have come at a better time.

This last year has seen relationships failing, we all have those we can't risk losing, and the message behind John McDonough's ambient song is one we can all sympathise and relate with.

This new "Folk-Hop" style has been described as "indie-folk culture finally catches the hip-hop bounce"  Us at IndieX couldn't disagree with that statement at all. C4C blends together sounds that work on so many levels. All the tracks move seamlessly as you're taken in by the immersive listening experience. Somewhat minimalistic, the calming, tranquil tones introduced in the tracks sit atop a hum of a variety of different instrumentation. Having already released dozens of tracks, it's little surprise just how much soul is poured into this art, and the outcome is staggering in its beauty.  The impressive element of the music is how tender and immersive it is, whilst still portraying a real and undeniable sense of power. It all passes with wonderful flying
