This is an interesting new single by George Pendred and based around a simple but humble cup of tea. Lament for a Lost Cup of Tea may seem like a whimsical musical tale, but it is in fact much more, as any British person would tell you, it is a symbol of calm, offering someone a cup of tea during a time of crisis is a classic British way of providing support, creating a moment of calm, and a chance to "regroup". The ritual of "putting the kettle on" offers a pause and a return to normality when things are going wrong.

Here though Pendred builds a narrative on his flute that is totally addictive, a soft imploring start, percussive intelligence builds, and is soon joined by a global styled, almost Reggae bass line, one which manifests a delicious rhythm to the track. Pendred is well known for his expertise of a perfect build and percussion within his music, and it certainly shows here on this multi-faceted and layered new single.

This one is without doubt a hit in the making, and leaves me wanting to reach for a cup of Earl Grey as I listen. Vibrant, smooth and delightfully rhythmic, a guaranteed hit is on the cards for Lament for a Lost Cup of Tea by George Pendred with ease, now please excuse me whilst I just put the kettle on.
