From acoustic storytelling to electronic experiments, his songs stay lyrically direct.
For the early sound, "Two Fingers" still hits. If you want the later, more polished side, try "Hearts That Strain."
That self-titled debut went to number one in the UK in 2012, and you can still hear why in songs like "Two Fingers", just a guy from Clifton with an acoustic guitar and straightforward stories. He's kept that raw feel even when the sounds shifted, whether on the more electronic "Shangri La" or the anthemic folk of "Saturday Night, Sunday Morning." It's all there in the lyrics, plain and unadorned.
He started with folk-rock on that 2012 debut, then moved into electronic territory with "Shangri La" the next year. By 2016's "On My One," the themes got more personal and introspective, before circling back to acoustic anthems on the 2021 album.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
