Pennies By The Pound
Whispers Beneath The Willow Tree
Finland
 
Finland’s Pennies By The Pound are preparing to release their Nothingside LP at the end of March. This new song is the second single from this record and highlights another edge to their well-rounded and inventive sound. Mastered by Mark Gardener from Ride at Oxford’s OX4 Sound, and produced by multiple number-one hit maker Rauli “Rake” Eskolin, Whispers Beneath The Willow Tree stands to conjure the magic of Finnish imagery with its title alone. A middle-ground song due to be set between more punchy output, the psychedelic prog-rockers show off their tender and sentimental side with this traditional kind of romance.
 
Synth strings crawl from the shade into flute and pipe rays of sunshine. Guitar joins the flood, rising melodies strike beautiful walls of sound that rise into song. As the second guitar breaks, vocals enter on wings of melancholy and charm. Meaningful words smoothly link to one another in a melody of dreamy introspection. As the guitar kisses the drum, bass continues to plunge the motive and rhythm through the meandering music. Hook-laden choruses snap us to the centre as a progressive evolution maintains an ever-growing sense of passion.

Pennies By The Pound
The End Times
Helsinki
 
Taken from their upcoming Nothingside album, Finland’s Pennies By The Pound release the second single from the record. Released on the Lilith Label in 23, we can expect a back-to-back wall of sound that's as unique as it is well-made. With influences ranging from British psychedelia to 80s neon pop, the music explores several emotions and vibes through this entertaining medium. Mastered in an Oxford studio by Mark Gardner, frontman of RIDE, and produced by Rauli Eskolin of over 20 number one hits in Finland, it’s going to put Pennies By The Pound in the league of greats with their already tight and energetic musicianship.
 
The song sneaks up on us with a drifting synthesiser sound that builds in gradual increments. With a sudden burst of musical colour, rhythmic and melodious synths emerge from their boxes to fill the air. Small changes become grand as the guitars and drums enter to soften a groove in the surge. Lyrics begin, a tuneful and breezy melody spans over the energising synths and dancing guitars. The uplifting sense of expression is matched by deep and introspective words in a magnetic field of attraction to the music. Within the song we can hear clever motions from the various instruments that mirror the inventive and shifting style that builds from the song.
