From the warm shores of California via the quaint town of Lewes near Brighton, this track from LA / Brooklyn duo Soft Swells gently unwraps its transatlantic birth over three gorgeous minutes of West Coast harmony and underplayed English indie. Produced by Dave Lynch (Ed Harcourt and the criminally underrated Clearlake) in the rolling Sussex countryside, Don’t Cut It Off will appeal to anyone who loves the bucolic fuzziness of Band Of Horses or the long forgotten Lowgold. All sun, shade and a nagging undertow of a guitar refrain, it builds to a strident, melody-flecked plea for time and understanding from a lover. Heart grabbing stuff.
