M G Boulter is developing into one of the UK’s most notable songwriters, garnering praise from reviewers like Uncut describing his work as “gorgeous in a word” and R2 listing him as “a weapons grade songwriter”. Following the suburban realism of his album ‘Clifftown’ (an album dedicated to his home town of Southend-on-Sea, which also spawned a companion podcast and invitations to present at the Melbourne Emerging Writers Festival) comes his new album, Days of Shaking.
Days of Shaking continues M G’s exploration into the kitchen sink dramas of modern suburbia but behind these effecting songs of frustrated opportunities and the mundane realities of day to day modern living is a world of rumour and mystery, urban myths and the magical thinking we all use to bring shape to our lives, expectations and hopes.
