mcArtney – ‘Circles’

Having toured almost relentlessly playing in other people’s bands, mcArtney (a.k.a. Tim McArtney) sat down with his Apple Macbook and spilled out his own musical thoughts, coalesced them all together and he now presents us with his debut EP, Volume One. Taking lead from subtle folk/pop artists like Josh Pyke and Augie March, Tim’s songs are sutiably bare; sometimes garnished with a glockenspiel, or cello, or, in the case of ‘At Least I Think I Know’, some extra vocals in the form of Dead Letter Chorus’ lady wonder Gabby Huber.

‘Circles’ is the first single from the EP, and encapsulates what mcArtney is all about: narrative vocals based around sweet acoustic guitar melodies, but ornamented with a spattering of percussion and tinkling glockenspiel.
