Challenging the sonic status quo with a raw and homemade sound, please welcome Florida-based one-man powerhouse Chris Thomas. As a singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Chris recently spent two days putting together a fuzzy, intriguing, and energetic tune called ‘FromTheTop 2.0’. Let’s dive in!
Featuring two drum kits and unique, intricate mixing, ‘FromTheTop 2.0’ is unlike anything I’ve heard in some time. That DIY approach shines through wonderfully on the track – and brings with it a feeling of being in the same room as the gifted musician. There’s a grittiness and authenticity to the song seldom seen in today’s cookie-cutter and formulaic world, and it’s undoubtedly what sets Chris Thomas apart from the rest.
“‘FromTheTop 2.0’ is a track that delves into the rapid rise and fall of life’s endeavours,” says the artist. “It’s about how quickly things go up but just how much faster they fall down”.
Turning to the likes of Ty Segall, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Nirvana, and The Black Crowes for sonic inspiration, Chris Thomas has managed to cook up a sound that channels his influences into something unmistakably his own. We can’t wait to hear from him again!
