Paul Dixon or as we know him "Fyfe" is a relatively new artist originating from Manchester, Northern England. His debut record "Control". The album itself was released on the 9th of March on CD and MP3 via Rough Trade however the vinyl versions are to be released on the 16th.
Since developing my obsession with Rough Trade (the coolest and most abstract record store around) I noticed via their website that Fyfe's album was an exclusive. Spotify has the album available so I gave it a listen (full review to come) however the song "Solace" really reached out to me. The angelic however subtle melodies of both Fyfe's voice and the various instrumental chords join together to make a perfect song.
What I love the most is the fact that the song has nothing major apart from Fyfe's vocals and a small amount of computerised snares. But it gets to the hook and the bass and the chords just tie together in such a fantastic way. The production of this song as stated is just so subtle but it works so well. The song is just fantastic.
If Pop sounded like this on now, I would buy into it more as I feel as if Pop nowadays (Top 40 Chart) is just extremely repetitive it bores me. However Fyfe should continue to make music like this and explore different types of production however I love the production on this song and the rest of the album.
