"Travellers in Timing EP" is a huge progression for John Goldrust, and it's his first full-length guitar-centered release, a six-track set all about honesty and emotion. It feels like it was made to connect with, reflect on, and resonate with people who exist in the world and are dealing with relationships in these times.
The concept of relationships inspires the EP and explores different types of emotional connections we share, from love and family to the two-way battle between ourselves and society, as well as the more subtle yet often overlooked relationship we have with ourselves. Every song is an emotional vehicle powered by both warmth and openness, as well as a clear sense of mission.
Standout tracks like "Forever And A Day – Live" and "The One To Call" are emotional anchors, proving that Goldrust can whip feelings into gorgeous melodies without verging on the overwrought. And including live and unplugged versions makes the tunes deeper, revealing how adaptable and emotionally affecting they are beyond the studio.
The project was written and produced by John Goldrust, and guest musicians subtly enrich the texture in small but vital ways. Ilodica's pretty melodica provides the tracks with a soulful lift, Duncan Jebbett's bass a familiar groove, and Dan Glazebrooke's percussion with movement and rhythmic depth. The chemistry between the collaborators is real, lending the EP a sense of believability.
The EP was recorded at Goldrust Records Studio in East Oxford, and it has a warm, lived-in feel. At just 19 minutes, the EP offers you a brief but fulfilling listen. "Travellers In Timing EP" is a cerebral, guitar-heavy release of connection, and quietly confident, intensely human, and meant to be felt.
