Uncover TABLE 4 1’s pure, intimate acoustic monitor

TABLE 4 1 – ‘Spaceman’

‘You go searching and all you see is the ghost that talks to me, and calls your title…’ opens ‘Spaceman’ by TABLE 4 1. It’s a barely unnerving opening which is softened by the wistful melodies. This can be a love music with all of the floating dreaminess but unusual detachedness of – properly, a spaceman. A brand new, acoustic re-release of an older monitor, TABLE 4 1 are sending this glowing little tune out into the environment once more. 

TABLE 4 1 is the mission of Birmingham-based singer-songwriter Harry Bott. Some could know him because the lead singer of the band Cigarette Social Membership, who supported the likes of The Rills and Second Ideas. With many songs leftover from band days, Bott is reshaping them into his solo mission.

‘Spaceman’ is a naked, but intimate acoustic indie music, crammed to the sky with longing and regrets.

‘It could have occurred in the long run, ‘cos you’re greater than only a pal’ sings the wryly resigned lyrics, describing a relationship that appears to have cracks forming. Fault is admitted with traces like ‘I inform you lies’ however hope stays that she’ll ‘discover the keys’ to make it work out. These are all delivered with traditional melodies and Bott’s dedicated efficiency, with heat, husky vocals and delicate falsetto.  

The manufacturing centres round some beautiful interaction between a shiny guitar and a saxophone – an sudden alternative, however it works right here, retaining it easy and by no means sleazy. Echoes of traditional songwriting within the vein of The Beatles and David Bowie are clear, but in addition extra fashionable acts like The Kaiser Chiefs. It’s a monitor each traditional and recent, which may enchantment to a wide range of listeners.
