Release Date: 1st December 2017
South-East London lad Raffer (aka
Callum Rafferty) has done me a favour by knocking out a single with a B-side
which always puts a smile on my face. A-side ‘Together’ is a bang-tidy slice of
indie-dance-pop with a killer little hook and the kind of bounce that makes
festival crowds lose their shit and forget all about the day jobs. Raffer has a
keen eye for a melody and this track could easily sit on any album alongside
the likes of the Killers, the Kooks, the Pigeon Detectives or the Lightning Seeds
without feeling remotely out of place. B-side ‘Only Grows’ is an entirely different
affair but also, weirdly, perfectly fitting. Left-field synth loops, smooth
indie-pop vocals and a satisfying bass pulse all combine with samples and loops
to make a relaxing, almost cleansing track that borders on some kind of Michael
Jackson mash up with Everything Everything while Alt-J fan themselves in the
corner. Raffer is one 19-year-old with a heap of ideas and the talent to match
so mark him down in your ones to watch in 2018 for sure.
