Goliath, from Glasgow, is a recent discovery for me. I first heard their music late last year and especially loved the song 'Everybody Cries', which is well worth checking out too.  

This new EP is a lovely listen. It opens with 'The Garden' which is a beautiful, yet devastating, piano led ballad. The sound is more indie folk and brought to mind Elliott Smith, Ben Folds e.t.c. The lyrics are raw and honest, with huge emotional impact.

'Hannah' is more upbeat and pop sounding. It is superbly catchy and Summery with hints of 10s indie pop band - Real Estate.  

There is also a wonderful cover of the BMX Bandits classic - 'Serious Drugs'. It is more Folk sounding with beautiful vocal harmonies, bringing out the emotion of the original song even more.

It ends on 'Cliche' which is a heartfelt love song. The simplicity makes it stay in your mind, long after listening.

A highly recommended EP from an artist, well worth looking out for.
