Robert Ascroft Enlists Christopher Owens on New Single
You likely heard this new track from Robert Ascroft yesterday, at least if you’re into the sort of dark pop I dig on. Ascroft is known for both his cinematic leanings and his production work, so for his new record, he’s pulled from a slew of great voices to work into his vision; he brings in Christopher Owens for this current single. There’s this dark pop croon to Owens’ performance, akin to Richard Hawley or maybe even a Jonathan Bree; it has this sort of smoke-filled lounge vibe, musically speaking, which translates to the more modern hedonistic approach Ascroft takes in the film accompaniment. It’s a striking song, so looking forward to hearing where else this will go; Echo Still Remains is out on February 14th via Hand Drawn Dracula.
