about

This is my second *FREE* digital album release on Bandcamp in a space of 2 months. They are rough demos recorded on a 4 track tape machine and songs that I probably won't record in a bigger studio (so to speak). I do really still like these songs and they've been tapping me on the shoulder for a long time. Better for me to release them and let them fly free. This will allow me to concentrate on lots of new songs I've written which need to be recorded. Some of the songs on this album were written by me when I was a teenager. Hope they still stand the test of time.......thanks, Julian

ALBUM REVIEW:

'Armstrong aka Julian Pitt is one of the great undervalued pop singer songwriters of today; anybody who loves Prefab Sprout or Aztec Camera or the Beach Boys really need to get their listening gear onto this undervalued pop prince. And what we have here is a free to download comp of 4-track tape recordings that show off Julian’s talent for writing such beautiful heart tugging melodies. And the warmness of the tracks are added by the beauty and subtle warmness that recording on tape provides.

This eleven-track album is a lo-fi pop delight, from the guitar jangle of ‘The Sweetest Girl’, The Smiths like ‘Im Not Angry’, to the Blur meet Mary Chain sultry pop strut of ‘Slow Down’, to the beautiful ballads ‘Miles Away’ and ‘4Am Thoughts’. Beechwood Park is indeed a must hear album for all the lo-fi lovers out there'.
