Nixon Tyme reveals his highly effective new album, “How We Love The Sea”

Hailing from Rennes in France is Nixon Tyme, and earlier on this month noticed the singer-songwriter reveal his highly effective new album, “How We Love The Sea”. The artist is not on Spotify so it’s possible you’ll really feel extra connected to this than others, as after we listened to this on the primary play there was this large clean canvas for our ears to fall upon.

The entire album is an idea and showcases Nixon’s vocal vary, with tones sounding ever-so acquainted to the likes of David Bowie and artists of the late Nineteen Eighties alt-rock scene. “How We Love The Sea” kicks open with the moody tune “Drit and Mud” earlier than swiftly heading into the ballad-sounding “Inside These Partitions” – and it is this observe that I felt like I used to be listening to an acoustic Bowie album, because the resemblance within the vocals are so rattling related.

The observe “La Passerelle” acts as an interlude providing you with a little bit of a relaxation earlier than the heart-on-your-sleeve observe “Ready for You” is available in, and with the observe feeling very tender you possibly can’t assist however get sucked into it with the sheer majesty of all of it.

“The Woman And not using a Clue” options some candy feminine vocals on, kicking up the album a bit with a extra upbeat sounding sheen, and with this piece sounding extra like Squeeze in locations it feels like Nixon Tyme may be one of the underrated acts in France!

For me the ultimate 5 tracks are propped up with the cinematic “She Shakes the Sand” main into the toe-tapping “My Oh My” and the cigarette-lighter tune “Single Handed Crossing”. The album finishes on two robust tracks with “Shining Star” giving the listener a journey with the sluggish opening earlier than a cascading alt-indie sound with strings is available in, and the ultimate observe “The Day that Zorba Died” providing you with that final gasp ballad with tender feminine/male vocals.
