Sonically swinging between neo-soul and traditional jazz, ‘Outside’ is the brand new single from Liverpool-based five-piece The Armchair Captains. Born from a random rehearsal jam that resonated with all the band members, ‘Outside’ is a luscious and layered offering that carries a warm and organic feel. Rich with spontaneity and heart, it pulls the listener into its soulful and passionate embrace, and the super-smooth vocals of Spencer Lawrence just seal the deal. Pure brilliance!
A tune that not only feels perfect for staying in by the fireplace but actually paints a vivid picture of doing so, ‘Outside’ is all about cherishing the calm and warmth of being tucked away from the world. “It’s a song about when you don’t want to go anywhere,” says the outfit. “And the weather provides a reasonable justification for staying at home”.
Inspired by the likes of Hiatus Kaiyote, Vulfpeck, Thundercat, and Kamasi Washington to mention just a few, The Armchair Captains pay homage to their influences while forging a distinct and memorable path of their own. And, with a decent-sized discography to their name, there’s a whole lot more to discover from this highly talented bunch! Dive in…The water’s warm!
