BRYAN ESTEPA – HEART VS MIND

Sydney-sider Bryan Estepa has a voice that you could find on a sweet melody from a laid-back, California-surf-riding rocker straight out of another decade. It would be perfect on vinyl, which is lucky, because his latest album Heart vs Mind is getting that release thanks to the support of his established fan base and ‘crowdfunding’ website Pozible. This 11-track release is full of meaningful lyrics about want versus need, love versus loss and ultimately heart versus mind, especially evident on tracks like She vs Him and Restless. The chilled instrumentals and his skilful guitar playing create an album easy on the ears. (LL)
