Free stuff from someone very good indeed: Marcel Legane 'Battle' EP

When it comes to singer/songwriters, words like 'James Blunt' and 'Damien Rice' have done so much damage that the very mention of a new, young acoustic chap is enough to cause shudders. However, fortunately for the super-talented, super-amazing (can you tell where we're going with this one?) Marcel Legane, lumping him in with the likes of Blunt is doing him a great disservice.

For one thing - his music is not the dreary balladry that comes with the territory, it's upbeat and kinda fun, as is evident on his new EP 'Battle'. Three songs built around sky-bound harmonies, clever lyrics, brilliant vocals and lovely melodies and best of all released for free - so all in all it's not like you're going to lose out by downloading the following are you?

Now, what you will have already discovered there are the following tracks: 'Battle', 'Cutting Time' and our personal favourite 'First One To Fall', which is about God, blind faith and general religious oddness, and which is a thoroughly astounding piece of music. The other two are incredible too by the way, it's just that 'First One To Fall' has our favour.

Very good. Well done Mr Legane.
