about

“It can be stressful when a friend asks you to turn a critic's eye to a piece of their work. You need to be honest! But he's your mate. You're in a pickle - bummer!

Words that come to mind about Karl’s voice: light, ephemeral, grounded, strong, moving... Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me either. I gig with Karl regularly enough to know he is the bomb (you need to feed your ears with his sound before you die. Well, I heartily recommend it at least) but few recordings capture the qualities of a live vocal performance. However, on Dervish Karl just rocks.

Dervish is as polished as a new tack and pulls you into Karl's understated yet driven arrangement. His musicianship is without question but there's plenty of room for the vocals to dance around the beat as it pulses throughout the song. This is the strength of "Dervish". Karl shows his maturity here revealing the wily, experienced songwriter inside. Writing to a frankly excellent standard he crafts the song into a genuine, raw loveliness.”
