Eats Everything
Three Six Zero Recordings

Comment
"It comes from the man who was recently spotted floating around the West Country in a rather handsome looking balloon. It shocked the sheep and the cows, and it made national news. The man responsible Eats Everything with a hot new cut from his forthcoming album which drops early next year. This is just sublime. Kind of back to his early Bristolian roots as well."
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 36.00 here.
