Hey everyone. It's been a busy week for me so far. I've had to multi-task between recording for the EP (which I'm going to announce the tracklist and title of in a bit!), and practicing with my friend Postscript for his live perfomance at Field Trip Festival on Saturday. I'm not going to be a perminant member of his backing band, but he asked if I would for this one time and I didn't want to miss out on the chance to play at a festival (even if it is as a backing member!)

But yeah, the recording of the EP is going brilliantly. Me, Derek and Kieran (who has been producing the album for me) have been working pretty whenever we can to get it ready. So to give everyone a taster of what some of it will sound like I've decided to release one song from the EP for free tonight which will be streaming on the website and downloadable from tonight, along with the tracklisting and the title of the EP (however we're still working on the album artwork, but that'll be up sooner rather than later.) The date that I have planned to play in London within the next month or so is still yet to be conformed, but you'll find out as soon as I know what is happening with it.

The EP is going to be called Getting Out [EP], and will featuring the following tracklist.

Getting Out [EP]
1) Getting Out
2) Loose Change
3) Going Downtown
4) Hello (Not Goodbye)
5) Perfect
6) Extra Credit [Demo]

and the track which is up for download now is Getting Out. I hope you enjoy. All the best, Aaron xo

Getting Out
Starting with an acoustic guitar riff, and some scratching from a set of DJ decks which feature throughout the song, Aaron spends no time in showing his vocals, which start as the music does with a reasonable high tone, mainly held out notes until the hip-hop based drums start and he starts to increase the speed in which he sings. During the chorus there is a use of a harmonica in the background, along with the DJ decks, acoustic guitars and hip-hop based drum beat, mixing with many tones of vocals being played over each other sounding like chanting crossed with an echoing effect. Towards the end of the song the vocals return to the held out notes, and there are more gang vocals with the line “I’m getting out of this dump” being sung whilst Aaron sings over the top until the returns to just the acoustic guitar and ends. The lyrics of the song are of an upbeat manner and follow the dreams of anyone who wants to get out of their boring lifestyle via music.

Aaron: Thank you! The whole EP isn't ready yet though! Just the title track Getting Out. Hopefully it'll be finished and ready for release over the next few weeks!
