  Biscay comprise 4 jazz/funk/prog instrumentalists who write songs about the human condition set to a dizzying range of genres. Using a range of vocalists (chosen to suit each song), this is a deliberately diverse formula. It’s a formula which seems to work given Biscay are 2-time winners of the UK Songwriting Competition (amongst others – see Awards page on our website https://biscay.co.uk/awards/). We have released 8 new songs as singles since October 2024 into 2025 and  The Joy Of Missing Out  is our 9th such release. Biscay’s first EP release was ‘ Burnt Mementos ‘ in April 2017, followed by a second EP  ‘Stare At The Sun’  in March 2020. Through the pandemic lockdowns a further 5 singles were released.

In the smoke-filled haze of "The Bluesbird," the neon sign of the jazz lounge glowed like a single, blood-red eye in the darkness. The air was thick with the scent of gin and old secrets, the smooth saxophone melody wrapping itself around the patrons like a velvet noose. At the back, in a booth bathed in shadow, sat Cyborg Post, his cybernetic enhancements catching the occasional glint of stage light. He was the city's self-proclaimed king of the algorithmic underworld, a man whose heart was a cold machine and whose mind was a sprawling network of data and ambition. Beside him were his henchmen—"The Followers," as he called them—their faces a mask of studied indifference, but their eyes burning with the desperate, insatiable need for validation. Their target tonight was Albert, a witch doctor of the modern age, a charismatic figure whose touch was rumored to heal hearts and fill empty lives with purpose.  They were after his most prized possession: the "lov...

  Review: Crawdad Coolers Serves Up a High-Proof Groove with "Reason to Drink" If you’re looking for a track that captures the raw, kinetic energy of a Saturday night in the French Quarter, look no further. Crawdad Coolers have delivered a masterclass in jazz-funk with their latest release, "Reason to Drink." It’s more than just a song; it’s an invitation to the ultimate old-school juke joint. The Sonic Landscape: New Orleans Soul From the first beat, the track radiates a vibrant, "party starter" energy. It leans heavily into a classic New Orleans vibe, blending syncopated rhythms with a brassy, jazz-funk foundation that demands you get up and boogie. The composition is remarkably creative, managing to feel like a spontaneous jam session while maintaining the tight structure of a professional studio recording. Songwriting & Sentiment The songwriting here is A1. While the title might suggest a simple barroom anthem, the lyrics offer a refreshing take on...

  "JC.B’s track Angel on my Shoulder sits at an intriguing crossroads of sound: a futuristic ambient chill hop that feels both forward-looking and warmly familiar. The description of the piece already signals a blend of paradoxes that many listeners crave in electronic music—the tantalizing and magical, the introspective and the club-ready, all folded into a sonic landscape built around soft pads and careful vocal textures. As an essay on the track, Angel can be read as a deliberate meditation on mood as a vehicle for atmosphere, where production choices serve emotion as much as genre. At the heart of Angel on my shoulder is its lush sonic palette. The soft pads establish an inviting ambient veil that cushions the track in a meditative, almost cinematic glow. These pads act as a sonic cradle, providing warmth and space that invites the listener to slow down and drift. Layered with subtle, textural synths, the sound design creates a dreamy, otherworldly quality—one that suggests a ...
