WILFUL MISSING - MOLEHILLS OUT OF MOUNTAINS

After having four of their songs featured in the BBC TV drama Waterloo Road, the band are finally receiving the credit and acclaim they have deserved since starting out in 2007. The release of their 11-track album “Molehills out of Mountains” will increase the five-piece bands fan-base even further. With a Cathedral-esque start on the first track, “Cry For The City” you realise that this is an album which has been worked on and fine-tuned to create something to listen to and enjoy for years to come. The harmonies and quality writing is continuous throughout, with superb story-telling in “Don’t Be Scared 48”, ”Constitution Failed”, ”Like Lovers Do” and “Powerful Pill”. The band also have the ability to lift the tempo and have you foot-tapping along to “London Road” and “I Am Clay” while, “The Waltz” is a track which has a familiar feel to it even on the first listen and is sure to be a WM classic in the years to come and the track “Caught Between Seasons” will have audiences singing along at every gig throughout the UK. Add a song which deserves to be named after a brilliant band and a reflective and superb finale with “Sleeptalking Over” and an album of excellence is complete. Whether you are a WM fan or not you are in for a treat with a CD created by five very special and talented musicians.

PATSY MATHESON - STORIES OF ANGELS AND GUITARS

Two years ago Patsy Matheson had a vision of an album, one with no deadline, no pre-planned list of songs, basically a blank canvass to produce something unique. The result is “Stories of Angels & Guitars” which enables Patsy to paint evocative and tender textured pictures with such descriptive lyrics. The angelic harmonic feel is evident from the first track “Under Your Wing” with harmonies which carry you along, and yet still allows Patsy’s impeccable vocals to shine through, before gently taking you onto a more laid-back lounge-feel track in “No Angel”. Love and emotions feature heavily throughout the album with every emotional pore being exposed throughout “Adoption” and “If You Ask Me” (which is my own personal favourite track of the album) and the feeling of missing in “Hotel Rooms”. The feel of the first track returns with the perfectly balanced vocals on “So The Same”, before a slightly faster pace is provided with “Hundred Guitars”, which like the following track, “Shining Silver”, complete with a haunting beginning is classic Patsy Matheson. The combination of mandolin intertwined with Patsy’s wonderful vocals provide a very special experience with “Water is over the Weir” before an incredible finale with “Sylvia Jean” which is a moving history and love story rolled into one and provides a fitting end to a very special album. From start to finish Patsy fourth solo album is like an expensive claret, smooth, rich and velvety which takes the listener into a warm glow of musical heaven

The album is released on 16th January and for more details please visit:
