Southend troubadour David Woodcock is back with a third album of bittersweet vignettes of love and loss set to irresistibly catchy melodies.
Written while the country was trapped in Covid lockdown, a sense of isolation and claustrophobia permeates the record, which is darker and more introspective than his previous releases.
His sound has matured too with backing vocals and layered studio effects adding to the mix and his band The Fixtures – comprising Joe Blamey (drums), Wendy Solomon (bass), Mark Elliott (guitar) and Joe Lamb (percussion) – sounding tighter than ever.
