Craymo - Love You More

-

"Love You More is the latest release from the award winning US singer/songwriter Craymo and featured on his EP Love Power. Love Power recently won Best Indie EP in the Fall 2020 Clouzine International Music Awards. Craymo released Love You More and the EP Love Power because, Craymo says “the world needs a little more love, especially now!”

Love You More is a fun, retro love song and an homage to the early 60’s surf rock sound of The Beatles, Cliff Richard, Elvis Presley and The Beach Boys! Love You More was nominated Single of the Year in the 2021 ISSA Awards! (International Singer Songwriters Association)"

Right from the start, I already know why this classic vibe song has already accumulated over 30,000 streams on Spotify!

Opening with a lilting electric guitar riff, the beat of steady gated-drums kick in, complete with a funky guitar fuzz – a vibe of that familiar 60s indie rock that needs to be revived.. The vocals hold this vibe, yet have a original sense to them, think along the lines of a mix of The Beach Boys and Ashcroft perhaps. There’s a beautifully smooth quality to the vox as Craymo sings the meaningful, love driven lyrics, Maybe an old relationship or former lover – but desperately wanting to reconnect with that person... I guess the lyrics are open to the interpretation of the listener, this helps the listener connect with the song and build a subconscious bond with the artist!

It’s not over-complicated or fussy – ‘Love You More’ is a minimalistic (in terms of instrumentation)  yet sentimental track encompassing that all too human emotion. It’s pretty damn pleasing to the ear too. Flavoured fuzz rock vocals, a breezy kissed beat and an exquisite return from the artist. 

If I had to give any criticisms to the track, it’d simply be asking for the song to have a longer duration as it does an incredible job of leaving you wanting more!! At three minutes, the impact and build up is definitely effective and intriguing, but it's one of them tracks that could go on for 6 or 7 minutes easily!

Regardless, Craymo have certainly showcased a wonderful blend of sound in their latest single and have set the standard high for his future artistic direction. Though it’s short and sweet, the unique flow of unpredictability ensures that song’s impact is nothing shy of powerful!

Winchester 7 and the Runners - Argos Holiday

Winchester 7 and the Runners release their album "Argos Holiday" One of the first tracks that really caught my attention was "The Golden Age" This song starts with a cresending fuzzy electric guitar introduction that leads into the quiet but powerful halfharmonic vocals, the drums are simple but do the job of keeping the song in track. The electric guitar and bass work well together and the vocals remind me of very early pre2005 Arctic Monkeys songs. "When The World stops Spinning" feels like a Reytons track, also including the fuzzy rock sounds of "The golden age". This song has a more catchy and early rock style than the majority of the songs, the instrumental sections are incredible and action packed. Some of the guitar riffs in "When The World stops Spinning" have a strong 1980s rock vibe.  One of the softer tracks "In the Morning Light" features some unique chord progressions and harmonies, although this song ...
