EP: RALPH COLA - NATIONAL ZERO
Bringing the sounds of the West Coast to England, we have upcoming slacker solo artist Ralph Cola (or Kenilworth based teen Aidan Leather). With his debut EP out today, the world will no doubt be astounded by the sheer brilliance which laces each soothing track. Although hailing from the midlands of Britain, ‘National Zero’ would be more at home as a Captured Tracks release, with shimmering guitar licks and jazz-inspired melodies that bring to mind the likes of Homeshake and Alex Calder. Along with a brittle – yet invitingly warming – tone to Aidan’s voice, the sparse lyrics are comforting accompaniment to the music, such as the thought provoking ‘Sat alone, Sat forever’. As a perfect soundtrack to a chilled summer’s evening, ‘National Zero’ could be the breakthrough Ralph Cola thoroughly deserves.
