about

"A Friend" was the debut single by In Emerald Sea, first released in May 2021

"Is there no end to this man's skills as writer & performer? I've seen him play so many different instruments to a high level live & let's not overlook the fact that he is often responsible (or partially so) for much of the artwork on his releases (as indeed he is with "A Friend"). However even these accomplishments I believe are overshadowed by his capacity to offer such a wide range of different songs: yes again the obvious evidence for this are the sonic distinctions between this track & previous releases under different names & I can't think of too many people who write as effectively in both delicate & distorted formats (John Lennon, Lou Reed & Kurt Cobain I suppose spring most easily to mind). However I would urge you to focus on Callum's lyrical themes (easier here I suppose than on some of his noisier songs) as there are so many interesting & insightful ruminations on such wide variety of subjects. I just hope that this trend of releasing tracks under so many monikers does not prevent people from joining up the dots on his talents…" ("Hot Music Live")
