Evening Chorus: Acorn | Review by Jo Whitby

We first heard the track ‘Square’ by Kayla Painter on the Adam Walton BBC Radio Wales show (we also discovered the wonderful Trwbador via the very same show – a band who also studied the same course as Kayla in Newport!). The track was a minimal and ambient electronic piece, incredibly hypnotic and something you’d [...]
