This edition of f LITM Singer-Songwriter Picks takes you through different landscapes and sonic atmospheres from the artists Joseph Turner & The Dudes of Hazard, Fish And Scale and Jonivan Jones.
1. Joseph Turner & The Dudes of Hazard – A New Moon
This is one of those songs you would tune in to for soft escapism—a moment of sonder, somewhere far from civilisation. It has an ethereal quality to its mix, alongside soundscapes built from glassy foundations, mellow electronic hues, and acoustic whimsy. These elements come together to create a beautiful subduing of the senses. The hazy blend of the vocal and instrumental layers feels like gentle, frothy surf breaks during a new moon when the tide is low. This works splendidly to set the tone alongside the lyrics, “we’ll fade into the gloom, new phase, beginning of you.” With its clean tonal overlaps, the track effortlessly evokes visuals of gentle, hazy landscapes.
2. Fish And Scale – Tapestry
‘Tapestry’ by Fish And Scale is a raw, brutally honest confession of longing, with verses soaked in sensual melancholy. The instrumentation starts subtly and rather low-profile, slowly picking up in the middle to match the energy of the singer until it builds to a feverish high. The vocals feature a unique blend of soft and rough textures with a bit of a grainy edge, pairing perfectly with the arrangement and tonal ambience of the track. The piano and acoustic guitar intertwine and disperse, leading to moments of wonderful texture. Structurally, the track feels as though it were built from raw emotion; it is a piece that will definitely connect with a lot of listeners.
3. Jonivan Jones – Take My Heart
Jonivan Jones has just released ‘Take My Heart’, a song soaked in desert wilderness landscapes with churning arrangements and handcrafted with a grainy edge. The song quickly immerses the listener in jangly, crusty guitar textures as the soundscape digs beneath the surface to unearth an earthy essence. As we get deeper into the bluesy composition, a heavier crunch develops within the atmosphere, bringing a deeper resonance. The vocals and instrumentation are completely in sync; each layer seamlessly blends into the next to create a powerful, unified tonal quality.
