Little Rivers - Growing Pains
Thursday 3rd November, 2016
They say:"I suppose Growing Pains is the one of those songs that just flows when you start writing it. It came from a synth and a loop pedal, and the two little synth loops are all I ever felt it needed.
It was the first song in a long time I had gotten lost in while playing, and it felt like a relief to be so brutally honest about where I stood at the time. Lyrically and instrumentally it's more sparse than the rest of the EP until the very end, and that was a great way to write after filling the other tracks with so many layers.
It was nice to be able to minimally frame the anxiety I was feeling at the time."
We say: “Tender, minimalist synths are counterpoint to a powerful voice with real lyrical depth. It's a cathartic and introspective listen, and a prime example of how - sometimes - less is more."
Little Rivers is a project by Belfast musician Callum Cairns; his new EP 'Weights' was released on 24th October.
