20-year old Brighton-based Max Pope sounds like a reaction Mac DeMarco and Leon Bridges. He has found a smooth niche within indie rock, blues and rhythmic jazz. Very clean sound.
Max‘s liberal dash of youthful vitality and energy, along with his captivating, and confident live performances help him stand out from an overwhelmingly over-saturated market of singer-songwriters.
Originating from Brighton, UK, Max has been quietly plying his trade over the past few months, working on his live show, and writing material which would eventually form his debut EP ‘Less Than Nothing’, set for release this winter. It’s a confident and strident debut, with four outstanding tracks that perfectly showcase his musical journey so far.
Speaking on new single ‘Less Than Nothing‘, Max has said:
“The song is written about achieving nothing with your time. It’s about those days when you really try to be productive but nothing sparks – the “lightning” just doesn’t strike. I wrote it when I was in the middle of a writers block and had spent several days trying to come up with something good and nothing materialized.”
Pretty cool music video. Check out for yourself below.
