Rob Cowen & The Dissidents – City Lights (12th April on Self Raising)
Mixed by legendary producer Dave Bascombe (Depeche Mode, The Doves Jesse Malin/Bruce Springsteen) & mastered by Frank Arkwright (Arcade Fire, Killers), City Lights is the hotly anticipated follow up to debut single Heartache, which broke on Radio 1 (Kissy Sell Out, Rory McConnell), Xfm, BBC Introducing (Tom Robinson, RAW Talent) & was voted Q’s ‘Track of the Day’. From the first snare hit, City Lights is more of the passionate, poetic epic folk that has put Yorkshire-born singer & songwriter Rob Cowen & his band The Dissidents on the map since forming in early 2009. With sessions already secured for BBC Introducing, London showcases galore (Barfly, Proud, Water Rats) & a host of festivals being lined up for summer, the single will be released through flourishing indie label, Self-Raising Records, & features an exclusive remix by Moshi Moshi’s James Yuill. “Like The Boss circa Born To Run. Stadium-sized, intoxicatingly engaging sing-a-long anthems.” – Q
