Here’s a taster from the Bressie interview:

This is shaping up to be one of Bressie’s busiest years.
“It’s pretty full on at this point but it’s what I do, I’m not a person for resting,” he says.

With his new single Show Me Love, Bressie is leaving behind the synth sound that dominated his debut solo album Colourblind Stereo

.
“I kind of wanted to go back to the more organic kind of stuff that I had done with The Blizzards, like guitar based stuff. Everything we hear nowadays in the charts, there’s no musicians in it at all, it’s all programmed, it’s all processed, basically we’re listening to computers.

“I didn’t learn guitar for 15 years to have a computer do my part so I wanted to go back to what I do and that’s sitting there with a guitar and playing it with musicians in a studio, so it was nice,” he explains.

“It’s definitely rockier [than the last album], the big thing for me is that you can make something rocky but also make it sound quite current and quite modern. That’s really what we had to concentrate on, and not just sound like an old, retro glam rock track – we had to break it down to how it should be on radio and an album.”
