Custom Blue's debut album "All Follow Everyone" is due
to be released via DJ Ross Allen's Island records A&R stable
Island Blue on April the 15th.The album and debut single "So
Low" (released on the 8th April) have been widely acclaimed
throughout the music press.
The fluid grooves and restless heart searching of 'All Follow
Everyone'
stalk a sundown landscape. It could be the empty streets and
dimly
lit bars of an alienating metropolis. Equal it could take you to
distant shores with the moon rising and space to think of the
girl
or guy that got away.Certainly, its going to take you on a
mesmeric
journey like no other album so far this decade. While your
regular
British mid-twenties song writing pair have been busy with crash
chords and histrionics, Alex Pilkington and Simon Shippey have
allowed
shadows, soul, string sections and electronically
nuanced suggestion to seep into the acoustic songwriter heart of
their work. Small ideas and fashion loyalties have been set aside
and the needs of the songs have been allowed to lead. So light
another
cigarette, pour a glass of something dark and sweet and let their
haunting, poignant, sublime songs go to work on memories good,
bad
and yet to form.
Plenty of great atmosphere, "In a Rut" is a
particularly
beautiful
moment...can't wait for the album" - (5/5) MUZIK
"All Follow Everyone" is a collection of unforgettably
well-written, well arranged songs. Graceful, thoughtful and
poignant
- (4/5) SEVEN
