It’s time once again for Call Upon The Author to offer you, our ever lovely readers, some rather special free music. We’ve teamed up with some of our favourite PR teams and the hottest new talent to present some really interesting samples for you to wrap your ears around.
Â
Lets start with The Boy Who Trapped The Sun. A young singer/songwriter from the Isle Of Lewis, he’s worked with the likes of Ed Harcourt on his debut album and, short of some orchestral strings and a few female backing vocals, has performed it all himself too. With the album due early next year, our appetites will be whetted by a forthcoming EP ‘Watermark’ and we’ve got one of it’s tracks for you.

We’ve got a taster of The Silent Years‘ exciting new line-up for you too. Their album ‘The Globe’ is out today and features three fifths of Detroit garage rockers Rescue.A concept album about what goes on inside the heads of literate young men and women, this isn’t proggy widdling but rather some intriguing alterna-rock.
