Num
Rocket

unsigned/Best Before

WE SAY

There are more clever, melodic twists and turns in the opening minute of this than in most people's albums. Great vocal too on this demo produced by Ian McCutcheon (Mojave 3 and Slowdive member). Num is one guy, from Edinburgh, a former binman who doesn't yet play live. He was weaned on John Lennon and Johnny Cash and so claims to have bypassed the 80s. Beyond that he's something of an enigma and having heard this, we need to know more.
