Being branded ‘one to watch’ is a curse as much as it is a blessing. While it draws initial attention, the worry is an artist may still be finding his feet under the impatient gaze of Joe Public and their itchy downloading finger. No such worries for this accomplished singer-songwriter: his songs are as steady as the trilby on his bony little head, a single ‘Cold Engines’ is as sanguine and tuneful as one would ever need for a cold winter night, enough to keep us warm until the frost melts for spring.
