THOMAS COLLINS

                                                    A Tom Collins


"Thomas Collins sat down to dip his feet in the pool. His namesake cocktail in one hand and his aviator glasses in another. The sky was too grey to justify actually wearing the glasses. The disappointing weather that the Big Apple had to offer meant he switched off a little. Losing himself in the shallow azure his thoughts turned to Miami – the city that never disappointed. 

Melodic and echoey music swirled around in his head as his internal synth machine starting whirring.  It would be forty five minutes before he would look up from the pool and gaze out at the metropolitan skyline. He was now running very late. Perhaps, he thought to himself, his friends were right and he was a little too relaxed about life.”

Now unfortunately Thomas Collins isn’t a real person: but the music, thankfully, is real and it comes courtesy of Andrew Nichols on vocals and Abe Quezada on production. The debut EP came out last month - and you can listen to it below – it’s slow pop music which has a metropolitan, US of A feel to it that is distinctive to these European ears; the cover of Miami is well worth listening to. 


Thomas Collins will be coming out with more new material in the near future, perhaps at the tail end of an Indian summer, which would be ideal really.
