The solo debut album from Dan Richards sees him straying a little from his rock roots. Formerly bassist in Kerrang! favourites Won Mississippi, the Berwick-based musician has scaled things down, stripped it back, and recorded this six-track EP at home. Consequently, opener ‘Rings’ acts as a lengthy introduction, a hypnotic post-rock guitar instrumental before the more rock tendencies show – although his former act’s more emo (small “e”) leanings are apparent in the lyrics: “For everything there’s a reason / and my reason’s ‘cause you’re everything’. For fans of of jerky, head-nodding riffs and controlled, tense instrumental passages, it’s well worth seeking out.
