One of the most important pieces of advice I have been given as an artist is to never release music without fanfare. Writing new music is a big deal - recording and mixing it, especially independently, is also a big deal; releasing it is the culmination of all that creativity, time and effort. This deserves to be recognised and celebrated. Sometimes new music slips right under the radar for lack of fanfare, and this album is one such case. Released back in November 2024 by Harry Peter Miles, affectionately known on the Open Mic scene as Harry PM (I always wondered what the PM stood for!), Late Night Sunrise is a shining example of what can be achieved by one person when they have a passion for documenting their creativity. I was going to review just one song but I believe the entire album needs to get in more people's ears. On first listen, these songs are exciting. It makes me think of the likes of Radiohead, Muse, Arctic Monkeys and a bit of the Beatles underpinning the song structures and melodies. Miles' voice winds its way around the melodies in a post-Britpop slurry tone that seems to be a universally popular style, making him sound familiar from the off. He has an almost Bowie-esque depth to his vocal at times, accompanied by cleverly arranged instrumentation that takes each song in a slightly different direction. Miles has certainly not fallen into the trap of making an album where all the songs sound the same (let's face it, we've all been there!). For a debut, I'm incredibly impressed and I'm really looking forward to seeing how he develops as an artist.
