Track: Bob Dylan – False Prophet
A release as surprising and enigmatic as the prior “I Contain Multitudes” and “Murder Most Foul”, “False Prophet” foreshadows Dylan’s “Rough and Rowdy Ways”. Although much is different across his three tracks of 2020, Dylan is reflective across the trio. Here though, he ponders with much gusto and “…last of the best” seems self-congratulatory in …

See: Modern Nature reveal new video/track, ‘Flourish’
“Flourish is like when my part of the world coming to life” says Jack Cooper of Modern Nature when talking about their new track, ”I live on the edge of London between Leytonstone and Epping Forest, so the signs of spring are very apparent round here – flowers, light, people talking in their gardens.” That …
Track: Nick Byrne – Houses
Inspired by a trip to Liverpool where he saw houses and streets falling into disrepair, Houses is the new single from singer-songwriter Nick Byrne.
