Review: Seamus Foley – Into The Night

Manchester born Seamus Foley’s latest offering showcases his brand of country, folk, Americana. The EP opens with the driving title track with it’s shuffle, brush beat of the drums and swooning slide guitar. It’s a toe-tappingly good track which is bound to win over audiences at festivals up and down the country later in the year. For me it is the stand out track on the record as well. ‘Letters To Victoria’ slows things down a little as it begins with a simple acoustic guitar and Foley’s clear vocals. The single ‘Colorado Skies’ is another strong track but not quite as catchy as the opener. I’m enjoying the well thought out arrangement and production and the rise and fall of the record overall as he switches tempo whilst remaining cohesive.
