I am a regular gig-goer and spend most of my time at venues and near the front of stages. It’s hard to be impressed these days as there is just so much music being made! One gig, however, impressed me a lot and still has me daydreaming. It was Callum Pitt‘s gig at the Star and Shadow in Newcastle at the beginning of June. So finding his music in my Release Radar is always a treat. This dreamy, wonderful pop tune is just what I needed to wake up a little and start my day off the right way! ‘Knocked The Wind Right Out Of Me’ combines Callum’s mesmerizing and peculiar voice with harmonies and sweet guitar tunes. Nearing the end of the song, the band knew exactly how not to make this a boring track by pumping up the volume and speeding up the tempo, ending back into the slow and dreamy feel that seems to have become the ‘Callum Pitt-sound’. I can’t wait to see the band play live again, but for now at least I’ve got this new single to dance along to.
