Play 90 second soundbite of 'Fully Functional' @ 'CD quality'
Tinpots are a transient collective based around the writings of Philip Davis; from solo to multi-musician, Tinpots alter their number to suit the song and it's requirements. Everything just so, everything crafted and executed with precision, understanding and breathtaking attention to detail.
The inherent transience of the Tinpots organisation ensure nothing is over-cooked and Davis' beautiful songs are allowed to stand proudly at the heart of the Tinpots ethos. Quite right too; Tinpots songs are beautifully and lovingly created and Tinpots ability to make the most of each song is inspired. With a great mixture of styles and emotions 'Softhead' is positively alive with charm and sensitivity.
Tinpots' 'Softhead' caresses to heart and feeds the soul - nothing here is likely to cause tension or put the listener on edge. Mixed and recorded with complete empathy for the sentiment therein, 'Softhead' is a breath of fresh air just when you're most needing it. Davis' songs are luscious and poetic and Tinpots eke the most out of each work by their fine attention to detail and consummate professionalism. 'Softhead' is an album of reflection and emotion; a gentle and classy work but one that's quite hard to pigeonhole. Certainly, Tinpots 'cross-over' from just pure acoustic to blur the normal territorial boundaries of modern music but retain an heavy element of nu-folk that borders on intelligent pop for the mature and discerning ear.
Beguiling to the point of becoming bewitching, 'Softhead' by Tinpots is overflowing with superior musicianship and creativity and an absolute pleasure to behold.
