When you’ve not had a release out for a while or you’ve been busy working on your next LP or even you want to entice people down to a gig, why not release a limited edition EP? In fact, why not release it then fold all your covers, stamp them with your details and add a label to the CD…and then multiply that by 500! That aside, what’s on the EP?
Well, the good thing is that it’s 4 new tracks.Easing in with a piano driven track called If I’m In Luck, the vocals at first sound a little distorted but do work with what is otherwise clear instruments. From here we’re led into Only Thing I Know, which in itself is guitar driven and brings us a familiar sound that could easily be a mash up of a number of tracks from his previous albums.
You Wanted In has a nice little bounce to it and it’s a track we could see being used in a show. Finally we come to the title track of this EP, Play Your Part. For us, it’s a track that both finished off this little selection off nicely, yet leaves you wanting just that little bit more.
You can’t really complain about this EP. For a mere £5 (plus p&p of 70p) you get 4 well produced tracks, with a bit of what you know, a little mash and still able to bring something different. And of course a handmade cardboard slipcase to house the CD in. Lovely little item to keep you tided over until the 4th album comes out….
Rating: 4/5
