Chris McConville – ‘Isolation Improv’
Chris McConville is a London based, Scottish solo artist. He has released his EP ‘Isolation Improv’ in June 2020. It is an indie-folk EP that will have you reaching for the repeat button.
Created in Lockdown, ‘Isolation Improv’ features two instrumental electronic tracks and one acoustic track, with beats featuring spoken word by American actor, Noelle Adames. Firstly, ‘Isolation Improv, Vol. 1’ has a full band sound with a laid back vibe. We love the darting synths which in part are dark and brooding and also melodic and guiding. Secondly, ‘Isolation Improv, Vol. 2’ features an industrial feel from the get-go. A stoic beat soon establishes itself, and it is a thoroughly mesmerising piece. The final track ‘Isolation Improv, Vol. 3’ feels gentler and more melodic in its composition. Moreover, McConville’s guitar skills shine through, and we adore the spoken word poetry which graces the piece.
McConville says about the release,” ‘Isolation Improv’ was born out of self-isolation and improvisation and was originally a short series of fun music videos released, throughout the lockdown on social media.” Check out the ‘Isolation Improv, Vol. 2’ video below.
