Acclaimed singer-songwriter Fred Brown steps into the spotlight with his debut solo EP, Distraction, led by the evocative single ‘Marks Will Match’. Previously a member of automan, Brown now embraces a more introspective sound, blending heartfelt lyrics with ardent guitar work and soaring vocals.
"Marks Will Match" captures a moment of transition, beginning intimately before swelling into a powerful mix of pounding drums, expansive guitars, and deep, resonant bass. Reflecting on the song, Brown shares: "These singles, and the EP as a whole, signify a transition in my life. It’s a time where uncertainty looms, but it hasn’t quite realized itself yet. It’s standing in the distance, with a pistol on its hip. But until you reach that point, you sweep things under the rug and try your best to have fun. Everything becomes a distraction."
Recorded between Goldsmith Studios and Brown’s own space, the track features Ben Leftley (drums), Joey Crouch (bass/engineering), and Henry Arrowsmith (piano). Already tastemaker-recognised, Brown’s solo work promises to cement his status as an artist to watch.
