After a successful campaign on Pledge Music to raise funds for it’s release, Chris Townsend releases his latest 5 track EP, Electric Pylons.

Opening with the rousing track Painter’s Brush before heading into the mid tempo Home Tonight. Closer starts off sounding as if it could be a slow ballad, but then the drums and guitar kick in for a long instrumental section before heading into the vocals. Piano and drum driven Stone By Stone continues the familiar rock/pop feel of the previous tracks. Finally we’re treated to a slow ballad-esque, guitar driven title track Electric Pylons completed with live electricity sound effects.

Overall it’s a great little EP. Each song is delivered with power and emotion with just the right balance between instruments and vocals maintained throughout. There is no disjointed feeling between the tracks. They just seem to flow perfectly from one to another with any awkwardness, For those that know Chris’ previous work, you won’t be disappointed. For those that don’t know, then this a recommended listen to introduce to him alongside his debut album Copenhagen

Rating: 4/5
