Release Notes:
singer songwriter Stephen Fretwell releases his
first new material in two years with this limited
edition EP to support his current æintimateÆ UK
tour. Fretwell is a bit of a marmite artist, for
those whose singer/songwriter switch is flicked by
the likes of James Morrison, Paolo Nutini or James
Blunt you may be disappointed. For others he is
revered as a super-talented young Bob Dylan. The
relaxed tempo and jazzy influences in æThe SchemeÆ
will get your fingers clicking, if you can cope with
FretwellÆs sombre gravely rasp over the top. His
singing on æSleepÆ loses the gravel and takes on a
soulful lilt that fulfils on the title and caresses
you to sleep. The gentle æCan This BeÆ, and the
wonderfully titled æWilliam ShatnerÆs DogÆ rounds
off this flight of melancholy fancy.
Fans of Fretwell will love this latest offering of
complex and beautiful folk-infused songs. If youÆre
not a fan and in an emotionally vulnerable state,
this might not help!
