With a little help from his friends

 By Henry Lipput

Known as the “Collaboration King,” the UK-based multi-instrumentalist Sean Buckley writes “melodic electronica.” In the past he’s worked with Laura Jane (“Games”), Chris James Willows (“Pull”), and Joe Peacock (“Corridors”).

 

Continuing his habit of “working well with others,” Buckley sent his latest instrumental to Carl Mann and Syd Oxlee of The Shop Window to add vocals and guitars. In addition to providing the band’s trademark vocals and Mann’s distinctive guitar sound, they also wrote the lyrics.  

The result of this collaboration, “Forgotten” (available on both digital vendor and streaming sites), is an ode to lost love and forgotten friends. The vocals add warmth to Buckley’s electronica-infused tune that is aided by the addition of Jen Dixon on drums and Chris James Willow on bass. And Mann’s jangle is the icing on the cake as this wonderful mash-up of styles comes together and celebrates the talents of both Sean Buckley and The Shop Window. 

Can I have some more please, sirs?
