The release is Emlyn’s first on Dirty Carrot Records, and follows the musician’s fifth studio album, last year’s ‘The Names of the Streetcorners’.

Tom Emlyn’s latest single, Starsick, has a simple, 8-bit drumbeat and the kind of repetitive riff which lodges itself deep in your skull for several months. It’s a little indie, a splash of electronica and gives way to a ‘60s pop-rock number, with Emlyn channelling The Kinks’ Ray Davies.
There’s a hint of Bolan-esque glam in there, too. Emlyn interlaces the old with the new to create something truly wonderful on this release. It’s indie rock for those who want something a little meatier, a little richer.
Starsick is out now via Dirty Carrot Records.
