London-based duo Stone Fruit release the delicate and atmospheric - 'Second Guess'

-


Emerging, London-based duo Stone Fruit unveil their first single of the year, the gorgeously atmospheric and heartfelt new track, 'Second Guess'. Sonically enchanting and lyrically impassioned, 'Second Guess' captures the duo at their best, enmeshing the listening in the haunting melodies of Valentini Pavlidou, and the spacious and ethereal production of Lef Germenlis. 

Both having worked on different projects, this duo is the fruit of their longstanding friendship and their unquenchable need to create a sound that brings together elements of soul, pop, R&B, and electronic music. 'Second Guess' is the first single off their upcoming EP and a welcomed, promising new addition to Stone Fruit's growing discography.

"'Second Guess' is the first single of our third EP. Across our previous releases, we have explored different sounds influenced by soul, pop, and electronic music.

Although in this EP we had the pleasure to collaborate with and feature some amazing musicians, we chose "Second Guess" to be our first single as it best captures the creative process of our duo. Written, recorded and produced in our home studio, this single is an electro-folk minimalistic track influenced by the likes of Ry X and London Grammar. 

The ethereal sounds and storyline are exploring and commenting on themes magnified during the pandemic, such as doubt and self-reflection."

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 ...
