A Starving Viking – ‘The Milksop’

Milford-based artist, A Starving Viking, has released the magnificent ‘The Milksop’ EP in April 2022. It is an indie garage-folk release that sets A Starving Viking as an artist to watch this year.

‘It’s Mine Now’ opens the release to a gorgeously picked acoustic guitar that is instantly enticing. We adore the evolution of the backing instrumentation, which develops as the song does. A Starving Viking’s vocals are lyrically compelling, and his performance enchanting.

‘The Hither Shore’ features a staccato opening that unwinds into a luscious groove. Again, it is lyrically poetical and thoroughly captivating. Finally, ‘Morality Play’ closes the release with a skilfully played acoustic guitar, memorable melodies and balance instrumentation.

‘The Milksop’ is an outstanding release that takes the listener on a journey over the three tracks, and it has us reaching for the repeat button!

Comments

A Starving Viking says about this superb release, “These three songs were written and recorded in a makeshift hut in my garage at the start of the pandemic when I was dealing with some self-confidence and imposter syndrome issues.”
