Brooding, dream-like and sophisticated, Beach, with it’s
songwriting team of Jessie Coutts and Mathurin Molgat,
shimmers with musical maturity. Coutts’ voice - the CDs
centerpiece - sits on a bed of heavily processed guitars,
keyboards and percussion at times blending to become
another instrument. “Janey” features a hypnotic vocal refrain
which gets under the skin. Unusual but effective song
structures and loping, sometimes brooding grooves
reminiscent of UK band Portishead. - Kevin Thomas- Mountain Scene

Howdy!
Just wanted to pop in and give you a heads up on Sommersby's October Competition!
If you haven't already heard, the competition (hot on the heels of his recent neck-in-neck September fiesta) will offer 20 parts for the winner and is open to all artists that have $9999 or less in budget on 25 October.
This is a great opportunity for you. Tell every believer you can that you'd like to be nominated and encourage them to vote for you when the time comes.
Of course, if you'd like to, or you know someone who would like to, donate parts for the prizes in the Competition, just send (or have them send) Sommersby the details under a message marked “October Donation."
Hope you join in on the fun and GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!
