The Preston Ep

£5.00 / On Sale

Ric Birtill- The Preston Ep

The Preston Ep is based on and inspired by life in Preston, Lancashire. It features 5 songs about religion, romance, employment, agoraphobia and alcohol - dependence.

The five songs on the ep are rich in scalpel sharp observation, tempered with a reasonable amount of self-depreciating humor. The vocals have a punk rough and readiness about them, but that matters not as the songs are written in a way that this is actually a bonus, Birtill is an artist that really does write to his strengths and the results are fascinating.
"The Preston EP" is a release that often teeters on the edge, but never goes so far left field it's off the pitch. It won't be to everyone's taste, but it does make me think that Birtill is an artist that I want to see and hear more off and that this is an excellent starting position. - FATEA
