Independent releases of the week
September Song“Hope — from The Perfect View”
Alternative pop · early pick
A plea for peace and love gives “Hope” its centre: September Song’s John Douglass and Steve Hogg turn a response to difficult times into an invitation to keep looking forwards. Recorded at J&J Studios in Bristol, it introduces The Perfect View, produced by Douglass and Mark Aubrey, with an extensive cast of local musicians. We’re especially drawn to the care in the production. The music is listenable on Bandcamp now; the page lists 11 October for “Hope” and 18 October for the album, so this is an early independent pick.
