London-based artist Nigel Brown shows a range of quality songwriting on Freedom Beats The Drum, spanning from hazy folk to shimmering rockers within a consistent thematic focus on topics of freedom and love. He performs all instrumentation, apart from the live drums, which are performed by his son. The jangly, power-pop feelings on standout tracks like “On A Different Day” are full of replay-inducing moments, aesthetically showing shades of Teenage Fanclub and Matthew Sweet.
