James Leonard Hewitson has been quietly brilliant for a few years now, knocking out perfectly concise and melodic indie-pop tunes, culminating in last year’s truly excellent ‘Only The Noise Will Save Me.’. His new EP, Commercial, released on Win Big Records on 29th of July has a more paranoid, post-punk feel, zoning in on bullshit jobs, moral stagnation and the fickleness of the modern world.
Out today, lead single ‘Temorary Values’ is a shimmering, stuttering counterblast to complacency, with James’ laconic sense of humour in place- recalling the likes of Parquet Courts and The Cool Greenhouse.
