Record/Start: Rock From Afar

Record/Start Brighton, UK solo artist Simon Cowan, known through his project, RECORD/START is about to release his double A side single ‘Rock From Afar / Followay’ on limited edition cassette this 20 February via label Post/Pop Records. Prior to creating Record/Start in 2014, Simon was the songwriter for Manchester alternative band Carlis Star who had logged a bit of time at SXSW in addition to several other accolades.

Record/Start is said to be inspired by a great list of some of our favorite artists like Hum, Ash, Super Furry Animals, The Rentals, The Delgados, Brian Wilson and Teenage Fanclub.

Today’s feature is an impressive song, likely recorded, performed and produced in Simon’s home studio per notes about all his tracks found on the Soundcloud page. It appears to hit on several of his influences very adeptly in his own unique style, making for quite an impressive single and an artist to watch closely in 2015 and beyond.
