About Art Block
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember composing a song called "Cold Night" in a school music class! We had a really cool bass line played by a friend Kevin King and I added overlaying chords on an upright! We had a couple of female singers too and it was quite haunting!
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Jeff Buckley, So Real: Songs from Jeff Buckley Joy Division, The Best of Joy Division Radiohead, The Best of Radiohead These albums contain some of my main influences. I enjoy the rock elements of Radiohead and Thom Yorke's snarling yet ethereal vocals. Similarly with Jeff Buckley such a talented songwriter too. And then Ian Curtis needs no introduction!
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Poorer Than Ever” I really love this song! It represents a sound I've had in my head for years but have been unable to reproduce. Thanks to Marcus Hamblett and his vintage synths this has now been possible! Very much influenced by War on Drugs and Bears Den!
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Definitely seeing my vinyl record at the Rough Trade East record store in East London! I felt such a high to see a quality finished product that I can now sell to audiences in the UK and USA and all over the world.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Of course there are still live performances I'd like to create with the ultimate dream being a line up at a certain festival 😉
