If some unseasonal yet welcome sunshine makes you long for a little dose of slightly wistful melancholia while enjoying outdoor adult beverages then let me point you in the direction of Rob Bravery's debut single. An opening that will transport you back in time to psychedelic 60's pop makes way for a gentle and bouncy piano number with strong shades of Rufus Wainwright at his least self-indulgent (think Poses). He's not re-inventing the wheel or building rockets to Mars - he's just singing you a really nice song that you'll probably play all summer. The lyrics also have the word 'equidistant' in them - and, for my money, there just aren't enough songs that use such fine vocabulary. - The 405
Recent EMI Publishing signing, Bravery writes timeless music that possesses the strangely upbeat melancholy of early Badly Drawn Boy and Elliott Smith. - Music Week

Bio
Rob Bravery is characterized by his musical infuences. From the epic folk creations of Joanna Newsom to the textured, harmonic intricacy of Elliott Smith and Rufus Wainwright. He is a gifted multi-instrumentalist and singer with lyrics both heartfelt and satirical. His songs stand testament to his musical understanding and deliver an array of emotions by way of the beautifully strange and unexpected.
