Myles Manley was born in the UK but grew up in Ireland. His debut album was called 'Greatest hits', and he's now releasing an EP - "More songs". It may not be the most imaginative title, but that doesn't matter - what matters is the quality of the songs, and happily the songs here are of a very high standard.
There's a real mix here - "January" is a slow song with little more than the vocals but this is followed by "Ordinary world" which is totally different - distorted electric guitars and a strong drum beat accompany the vocals, and in turn this is followed by the softer "I love her family" with a cleaner guitar sound and a deeper softer drum beat, and so on. In short no song is like the one before or after it.
It's a great EP, with my favourite song being "I love her family", which reminds me of The Velvet Underground's song "Pale blue eyes".
A great EP that's well worth a listen.
