Ant Couch– Just One More Wave (Independent)
New Zealand born singer-songwriter Anthony Couchrelocated to Melbourne, Australia in 2006, specifically to further his musicalaspirations. Since the move, he’s become an active and enthusiastic participantin the local scene, gigging regularly, and writing and releasing a steadystream of new music. “Just One More Wave” is his latest, and his debutlong-playing record.Get past the cover, the simple tinted image and thestrangely inappropriate gothic German font, and you’ll discover asinger-songwriter with a deft touch and an easy-on-the-ear demeanor. It’s analbum of acoustic, folk-pop songs with plenty of lyrical twists and turns, andhooks that burrow deep in the subconscious. I imagine they make ideal listeningfor carefree sunny days and balmy evenings, and for those of us ‘enjoying’ aNorthern Hemisphere winter, they bring a little imported glow.
“Passing Time”, thealbum’s opening track, delivers everything that’s expected. A warm, rhythmicstrum is enhanced with a delicate lead guitar and Couch’s affable tone. “My Own Eyes” is beautifully pensive, with a harmonicalead that perfectly compliments both the fragility of the vocal and the generalmood of the song. The upbeat “Downstairs”applies a pleasing old-time, recorded-in-a-cupboard effect and thesuper-radio-friendly “The Same Old Song” wouldbe the lead single, if we still cared about such things.www.antcouch.comwww.facebook.com/Ant-CouchPhil S.
