ONE SONG ON THE HARD DRIVE (6)

Today’s song is on the hard drive courtesy of it being included on the Indietracks compilation of 2016.

This info is lifted direct from the performer’s official website:-

“Deerful is Emma Winston, a musician based in London, UK. She writes electropop about feelings on synthesisers small enough to use on the bus and in tiny live-coding environments, and exists in a perpetual state of being far too excited about making things.

Her most recent record, Tell Me I Can Fix This On My Own, examines friendship, personal transformation and loss through songs lovingly coded in the music programming language ixi lang.

Her musical influences include the Postal Service, The Magnetic Fields, Kero Kero Bonito, Emmy the Great, CHVRCHES, Owen Pallett, Grimes, and the DuckTales for Game Boy soundtrack.”

The above info refers to Tell Me I Can Fix This On My Own being her most recent record, and according to Discogs, it was a seven-track digital only release issued in September 2018.

The song on the Indietracks compilation is from one of her 2016 releases, the lead-track on Staying Still, a cassette-only release issued through Gare Du Nord Records, the sleeve of which is at the top of this posting.

mp3: Deerful – Some Nights

I think this is a delightful little song.  I’m not arguing that it’s groundbreaking in any sort of way, but it’s very much a pleasantly distracting three-and-a bit minutes that I’d be more than happy to listen to on a frequent basis.   The sort of song that I’d want to ‘Shazam’ and find out who was behind it.
