Hailing from Chesham, England, Gardenback Alvin recently dropped their debut single, "Violent Streak". The mesmerising new track comes in at just over four minutes long and opens up with a delicate acoustic guitar and cinematic backing.
... a stunning folk-pop debut that pairs cinematic beauty with heartfelt songwriting.
As soon as some sweet male vocals come in, you cannot help but compare this brilliant track to the likes of Ben Howard. It's so charismatic, so wholesome to listen to, and it grips you well within the first minute. The atmosphere on this track is sensational, and it really does a wonderful job of blending indie folk and dream pop. It's certainly going to capture the hearts of anyone who listens to it.
It is so rich with instrumentation and has a wonderful vocal tone throughout. Be sure to keep an ear out for the final minute, where the track reaches its crescendo with some strings. This is nothing short of an absolutely brilliant debut single. Be sure to follow them on social media and Spotify, as this artist could easily be one of the next big folk-leaning acts to come out of the UK.
