"Down" is a haunting ballad with beautifully sung vocals. Despite the simple vocal solo piano arrangement, judicious use of the stirring harmony backing vocals lends a powerful dynamic to the song, perhaps hinting at the direction a more produced version of the track might take.

"Next to me" adds acoustic guitar and tambourine to the mix, which makes for a pleasant laid back groove. The introduction of the piano mid way through bringing the sense of dramatic tension to proceedings.

Whilst these tracks may only be demos and stripped down to the essentials in nature, I find it hard to find any fault with what is on offer. Both are competent and engaging and I'm sure we can expect to hear great things from this artist in the future.

You heard them here first! ;)

Fantastically creative and inventive. An excellent listen.

Cool. I enjoyed this allot. Makes me want to go and relax on holiday. ;)

Great work.

The first tracks a bit too off the wall for me and not the sort of thing I usually listen to. All those bendy voices sound like a broken Dictaphone. A bit like the Beatles Revolution 9, I think this is something I could listen to with interest once or twice, but it's a bit to disorientating for repeated play really.

The second track however is a mutating ambient track that i really like. Its full of a sense of movement and evolution that I think ambient music should be all about (something missing from the first track). I could probably do without the vocal snippets that occur occasionally as I don't think they add much, but overall it's a cool and intriguing ambient excursion.

First tracks not for me so I've based my score on Solif only.

Love this. Very melodramatic and great fun.
