Some people set out to create albums.
Some families just want to jam around the kitchen table.
But when the kitchen table concerts transform into a collection of original songs, then recordings, then an album…we have musical magic!
So goes the story with UK based folk rockers Tumbler, whom we have reviewed before. Speaking of which, their new album Come To The Edge is now available.
Infectious grooves, memorable melodies, foot-stompin’, folk-rockin’, pop-appealin’ straight from the soul great music is the work titled Come To The Edge.
Tumbler took everything they learned from creating their first album, matched it with an undeniable growth and evolution in their songwriting and performance to deliver a fantastic record that you will definitely listen to again and again.
From the band,
Tumbler was born two years ago, when a lifetime of family music and weekend kitchen concerts turned into something more. Harry started taking the music seriously. Dave happened along. A whole bunch of songs left the kitchen, took flight and turned into an album. We called it ‘You Said’.
Reaction was gratifyingly positive. In a world that already has over 37 million songs, it turns out there was room for a few more. In honesty though it didn’t change anything, we’d already started on a second album before the first was released.
The thing is, you can’t help learning. Through the course of making ‘You Said’ we discovered some useful stuff and developed some new ideas. Out of all the material available we began to understand what songs suited Tumbler best. Meantime Harry was growing as a writer and performer.
‘Come to the Edge’ emerged out of all of this. Now it’s done we hope you have as much fun listening to it as we had making it.
