Good Day Noir Family,
our “Edgar Allan Poets’ Artists/Bands We Like” section is dedicated to Ned Holland and his new Ep Slow Down. I found this artist on Spotify and was fascinated by the atmosphere created by his music.
Slow Down is Ned Holland’s Ep | Edgar Allan Poets
The sincere and direct compositional style of this artist hides inside a particular charm.
As soon as I pressed the play button I felt his passion and the desire to stand out. This artist’s music brings with it the emotions of his generation and those great days spent doing nothing with his friends. Simple things that fill life with memories.
The production is a bit rough but able to make the sound even more instinctive and intriguing.
A coherent Ep that demonstrates Ned Holland’s compositional potential. An artist of great talent indeed who in my opinion only needs to mature a little more to make his talent fully shine.
The nostalgic melodies and the vocal interpretation are great, honestly, I didn’t find any weak songs in this Ep.
A nice discovery that I recommend to everyone.
Slow Down is Ned Holland’s Ep Out Now!
Nostalgic and Free!
Slow Down is Ned Holland’s Ep | Edgar Allan Poets
Ned Holland is the artist, who sings, and plays guitar and piano.
“The EP was recorded at my home in Salisbury and my university house in Falmouth, Cornwall. It was mastered by HP Music. I mixed and produced the whole EP. I recorded the piano for Away with my friend Tom Brans in AMATA at Falmouth University, and I had Willow Murray, singing the harmonies on Away too. I also had Lewis Jackson, good friend, help with the production on Slow Down.
The EP is called Slow Down, and that title track is about my friends and the summers we all have together. I’m very lucky with the group I have and as you’ll see in the music video, it’s very much reminiscent of that kind of joy we all share. The EP is all connected to where I am with my life, not taking life too seriously, I’m still only 20, but also appreciating what really matters. I wanted it to have an element of fun when people finally get to listen to it, as well as a mutual understanding that I have devoted my heart and soul into this project.”
