Ferris & Sylvester have released a brand new song "London’s Blues", the new track is taken from their forthcoming EP "Made In Streatham", out February 2nd 2018. "London Blues", which is receiving strong support from Spotify who feature it prominently in their "New Music Friday" playlist and Napster in the "New & Good" playlist.
"London’s Blues", opens with finger clicks and vocal rounds before breaking into a sound that’s pulled straight from the Deep South with slide guitar and walking bass lines. Regarding the song Ferris & Sylvester say, "This is one of our favorite songs to play live, so it felt only right to include this in our "Made In Streatham" project. Despite the humming, the clicking and the jolly feel to it, this song is all about those days when you think everyone around you is selfish and out to get you... we love a bit of irony. We wanted the song to sound like an old blues song, with the trumpet and the guitar, but to be really relevant to life in London today. When you move somewhere new for the first time - like London - it’s hard not to observe people and how different their behavior is from yours or what you’re used to."
"London’s Blues", follows the release of the uplifting single "Better In Yellow" and "The Room", which is a beautiful piece of autobiographical Americana, detailing the pair’s life in Streatham, London. All of the songs are available now to download with pre-orders of the EP right HERE.
Elsewhere on the "Made In Streatham" EP is the stunningly frank love song "Sometimes", while Ferris & Sylvester are found enlisting a superbly expansive string section on "Loser", as they address cheating partners.
The "Made In Streatham" EP follows the release of the band’s debut EP "The Yellow Line", earlier this year. It saw the pair topping Rolling Stone Magazine’s 10 New Artists You Need To Know list, while also receiving praise from The Independent and gaining great support from BBC Radio 2 and BBC Introducing. The early high profile acclaim surrounding Ferris & Sylvester proves they are one of the most impressive and exciting new singer/songwriter talents on the U.K. scene.
Ferris & Sylvester have announced a London headline show in support of the forthcoming EP. They will be playing at Battersea Arts Centre on January 11th 2018. Tickets are available now HERE.
