This latest release from Glasgow’s Becci Wallace is a rumination on online life, the streaming culture and the loss of income that yon Spotify and all that have caused artists. BW conceived the track but there are contributions from rapper Conscious Route and music from Texture, while BW’s piercing but righteous vocals nail the subject matter. There is also some great trombone from Chris Grieve.
The voices and music meld together in a spooky melange of ghostly voices which reminds BM for various reasons of ‘Ghost Town’ by the Specials all those years ago, an era-defining track…
This is complex and soulful music, demanding repeated listenings – hopefully this brief review will pique people’s interest, as there is a whole lot going on here…
