Over the years Welsh singer and piano played Rhys Underdown grow his solo project turn into a sextet that could turn his vision of becoming a crooner fronting a band that can handle the wall-to-wall arrangements of Harry Nilsson and Elton John in their '70s heyday. The new EP No Room For Love celebrates sarcasm and disappointments in a stylish and sometimes even joyous way.
On the surface the songs might come off as a collection of snarky love songs, but there is an extra layer: finding his bearings in the Big Smoke and all the hassles that come with it. He is not giving in though. Backed by his band he attacks and caresses the piano in art rock meets Rufus Wainwright fashion. No Room For Love is an act of deviance, delivered with panache and gusto.
No Room For Love is a self-released EP. The vinyl version also contains the On the Town EP. Buy it from their website.
