Hailing from the South…coast
of England, Mike Ross has been busy working on his new album The Clovis Limit
Pt2 which is due for release in October.
To whet our appetites he is dropping the first single from the album – The
Loser – on Friday 24 July.
There is a definite retro
feel to this track, fuelled by Mike’s voice which has a certain 70s edge to it
(but not in any bad way!). It opens with
an almost jolly acoustic guitar and – rather unusually - some whistling before
the vocal kicks in. Electric guitar and
handclaps then take over the melody as this tale of surviving against all the
odds, against whatever is thrown at you.
Although there is a lot
going on in the production of the track the vocal – with a touch of Chris
Stapleton about it - is very much the star although it should be noted that Mike
is also responsible for the acoustic guitar, bass, piano and percussion! It can’t be easy to produce a record entirely
in Lockdown, so kudos to Mike and all those who have kept on recording and producing,
it will be great to hear what Mike can do with a full studio set up and a full
band – and maybe he can take a little rest from doing all the instrumentals!
Three months is a long time
to wait to hear the rest of the album, so we’ll hope for more single or teasers
in the meantime!
The Loser, the first single from the forthcoming album The Clovis Limit pt 2 is available to download and stream from all major platforms from
Friday 24 July
