Protectors EP

The stem and

The leaf

Review.

This is a fantastic and glorious instalment from Protectors. This EP screams nothing but northern indie rock, wanting to break out and impose on peoples lives. Opening track “overtime” is new, fresh and upbeat. Newly re-mastered “Honeymoon?” brings it down a notch or two, slowing the pace but keeping that foot tappingly good beat going strong. “Carousel” brings you back up and into the Protectors world. Creating undeniably fantastic bass beat, gelled together with melodic, but powerful guitar parts. Finally on this rollercoaster of music is “shake the moves”, a perfect end for a glorious EP that will certainly stick with you for a while.     

Lisa Marie Glover - Album Review

Lisa Marie Glover

Einzelkind

Album review.

This latest offering from Lisa Marie Glover is nothing short of glorious. It is not often you get an all in one package with an artist, but Lisa is certainly an exception. This is the first time I have heard Lisa sing, and it is outstanding; her voice is beautiful, soulful, and melodic. She is able to take you up high but then softly sweep you back to ground.

Einzelkind (German for only child) takes you on a dreamy journey, mixed with a few tales of life in general day to day life. “The first place” is a perfect, melodic song to set you off on this dreamy, mystical journey. With a crisp acoustic guitar to accompany her sweet voice, you only think can this get better. The answer is yes. Further on “Mad Mary” brings the pace faster, creating you to start a foot tap to the jazz drum beat that is going on.

Closing with “wasting time” a perfectly blended song with a wide array of acoustic instruments, which is keeping in with the overall theme of album, Lisa Marie Glover certainly has a talent and a craft. She is able to keep the listener entranced in the music, while listening to her glorious play on words.
