Independent Artist:Gurnumsbug

Though his soundcloud modestly describes him as "Just a boy who likes making sounds." Gurnumsbug is much more than that,

I WISH I had a whole album of this guys music to review,but since an album has yet to be released,we'll just go with his most recently released singles: (starting with most recent,a collection of airy,earthy,ambient sounds that will blow your mind)

Ivory Tower:

Though it seems on the shorter side,the simplicity of this song may very well be what makes it so beautiful.As the rest of Gurnumsbug's music seems to do for me,this Ivory Tower has the ability to take your mind to another place,somewhere better,somewhere beautiful.It has a bearing resemblance to the outro to pink floyd's "cirrus minor",however,as the saying goes,great minds think a like.

UK Lights:

This song could very well be my favorite from Gurnumsbug,I really do think it's one of the best yet,the airy synth and harp like keys give it a white like,floaty sort of feel,there's something nostalgic about it that I can't quite figure out...it's absolutely brilliant,and that's really all I can say without repeating myself. Take Care:

take care is brilliantly composed,with a gloomy,mellower feel to begin with,it transitions into one hell of a beat,it reminds me of a rainy day in seattle,or new york,or..a big city such as those two...as the song ends,you can hear faint whispering,the discreet little things you can find in GB's music are the things that forever keeps things interesting,every time you listen,you hear something you didn't hear before...

Saviors of The Sea:

this song,would be up against uk lights as my favorite of GBs,this song was a whole new level in my opinion from what had been previously released months before it, Saviors of the sea has the same feel to me as Nine inch nail's "A warm place" does,which would be,tragedy,but in the midst of it all,there is hope,there's a light at the end of the tunnel,and you'll get there as long as you keep that hope,regardless of the doom and gloom that's going on now. then again,it could have just have been the time of my life and stuff I was going through when I heard it....but everything is subject to interpretation right? regardless,it's a beautiful tune. needless to say,the future is looking bright for gurnumsbug,with each single the music is getting better and better and better, to hear more from this artist,you can check him out on Soundcloud here: http://soundcloud.com/gurnumsbug
