The Far North makes compassion worth having with his debut album, Songs for Gentle Souls.

Posted on 1 October 2021

There are far too many things in this world that will tear away at the more affable side of mankind, but The Far North made compassion worth having with the release of their 2020 acoustic folk album, Songs for Gentle Souls.

The standout single, Branches, is a blues-folk serenade that all too efficaciously pulls you into the shimmering accordance of the minimalist soundscape that the 70s style folk-rock vocals soulfully resound within.

While you’d be forgiven for thinking that this sound manifested in Mississippi, The Far North is the solo project of singer-songwriter and guitarist Lee Wylding, hailing from Chester, England. His ethos as an artist is rooted in the roots of folk; his commitment to ensuring every lyric resonates shines through in Branches. We can’t wait to hear more from The Far North.

The Far North’s debut album is available to stream in full on Spotify.

Close Your Eyes: Calming Chester singer-songwriter Tim Whyte feels the loving ‘Visions’ on breathtaking ballad-filled pop visuals

Posted on 25 May 2021

As he deeply imagines her sweet and loving presence close by, Tim Whyte holds on for the hope that they will be together no matter what happened before, on his spectacular new music video called ‘Visions‘.

Tim Whyte is a humble Chester, Cheshire-based solo indie-pop singer-songwriter, former band member and nature lover. He has a soothing voice that will give you shivers of delight — as he performs with a pure sound and with emotionally-charged lyrics — that might have you reaching for the tissues or pretending that something is in your eye.

He soars in the woods, looking for signs of her spirit and waiting for her to hold his hand with so much care again. The electricity fuels his mind and he wants it badly again, no matter what it does to him.

His vocal ability is so tremendous and you find yourself locked into one place, avoiding any distractions as you enjoy this terrific song that is so sad, but also fills you with hope that you may find your true love who is lost for now.

‘Visions‘ from the Chester-based indie-pop artist Tim Whyte, is a love story that hold you close to the dreams that you want to be a reality. You can’t stop thinking about your true love and even if it doesn’t work out, you will never forget them.

When you love someone so much, the heart will beat faster each time you think of them. Forever.
