TOM EMLYN celebrates the release of new album ‘Rehearsal For The Rain: Scaredycat, Vol.2’ - his fourth in two years, self-produced, due for release on 29th August. The new single ‘Double-Crossed’ features tender vocals, introspective lyics, daydreaming guitar motifs, lo-fi percussion like a stripped back Velvet Underground song, written in lockdown. The accompanying video, by Sam Ffoto/Pypi Slysh, features a series of photographs taken rapidly enough to give the illusion of film on a cold January day in Cathays Cemetery, Cardiff. "The songs have true emotional depth, are highly tuneful and melodic with lyrical sharpness and shades of dark, combining the magical ingredients of melancholy and wit" - GodIsInTheTVZine.

iest: "Enigmatic singer/songwriter 'iest' blends together alternative styles of music with poetic, raw, emotionally charged lyricism steeped in esoteric nectar. Expect sometimes brittle and often unique, ambrosial vocals, wandering melodies up against obscured lyrics and dreamy chord progressions. There's only so much that can be said before having to recommend that you see for yourself." iest Spotify, Instagram
