Returning readers know we’re fans of Belfast-based songsmith Neil Brogan. Quality assured. Early this month he released the New Light EP, which hasn’t received as much attention as it deserves. So here we go. Opening song Line Check is the biggest earworm here, thanks to a repetitive head-nodding melody and easy-to-sing-along chorus. Title track (In a) New Light – present in two versions – is also bursting with charm, and on Outside Chance you can dance like no one is watching. This is uplifting jangly indie pop that only strengthens our love for this prolific artist.
The New Light EP is out digitally (self-released).
