A Right RRP Round-up
As this is the tenth round-up, that means I’ve now featured 60 artists in the series. It’s just a drop in the ocean of bands, singers and producers trying and hoping to get themselves heard, but then RRP is just a ripple in the lake of online music writing. There are plenty of people out there giving up their time to share music with others: with any luck deserving acts will find their audience.
As Elephants Are - Crown
Let’s kick off with some Home Counties rock. On second thoughts, let’s not - that’s a horrible genre to coin, isn’t it? And it does little or nothing to convey how bold and full Crown sounds. It’s the title track of an EP by As Elephants Are, it was released this week, and it’s available for you to buy right now from iTunes: https://smarturl.it/aeacrownitunespr

The Bronze Medal - Largo
Bristol five-piece The Bronze Medal released their debut album Darlings back in October, and even though I’m trying to accept the fact that I’ve been too busy to keep up with old submissions, and I’m desperately trying to stick to newer releases, I couldn’t leave out this excellent slow-burner altogether. More than hints of The National about it, but I think a lot of people will agree that’s no bad thing.

Dinsdale - In My Head
I can’t quite place what this track, from Dinsdale’s debut album Mission 56, reminds me of. Answers on a postcard, please. Something in that little guitar moment out of the chorus, or the solo perhaps…

Kids Fly - Ensemble Dissonance
Kids Fly are a six piece indie-rock/pop outfit based in London & Tel Aviv. They released their self-titled debut EP in 2014; each track from the EP is accompanied with a specially tailored visual art piece created by Amnon Ron of the boutique production company “Yafo Creative”. Ensemble Dissonance spends much of its running time teetering on the edge, wavering but never falling, with the visuals providing an shimmering, bubbling and intriguing accompaniment.
