‘Brian’s Drying Up’ is an atmospheric, melancholic pop/folk fusion masterpiece. Emotive vocals on top of a beautiful percussion-heavy backdrop make this a debut single to sit up and take notice of.
It’s vivid and haunting with a sense of vulnerability to it, and has already received attention from several musical big wigs, giving this Essex-born singer songwriter the potential to be big news over the coming months.
With live dates scheduled for the end of the month, we’ll be keeping an eye out for Francis Neve.
Catch him in London at the Spice of Life on January 21st.
