Our Take

Alex Maguire and Nikolas Skordas have teamed up to create a whimsical musical journey with their latest album "Ships And Shepherds." This dynamic duo takes listeners on a sonic adventure that is both unexpected and satisfying.

From the opening track, "Seafaring Dreams," Maguire and Skordas showcase their ability to blend traditional folk melodies with modern electronic beats. The result is a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh, reminiscent of a sea shanty being remixed by Daft Punk.

Throughout the album, Maguire's expert piano playing grounds the ethereal tones of Skordas' saxophone, creating a harmonious balance that is a joy to listen to. Tracks like "Waves of Wonder" and "Shepherd's Serenade" transport you to a world of whimsy and wonder, where anything is possible.

But don't let the light-hearted melodies fool you, there is depth to be found in "Ships And Shepherds." The hauntingly beautiful "Lost at Sea" delves into themes of isolation and longing, while the pulsating rhythms of "Dance of the Shepherds" will have you on your feet in no time.

Overall, "Ships And Shepherds" is a delightful musical escapade that will leave you wanting more. Maguire and Skordas have created a masterpiece that is sure to please fans of all genres. So hop on board, set sail, and let the music guide you to new horizons.
