Back Of The Pack is the new EP by Garstang-born, Liverpool-based artist Alex Hulme. With influences such as Fionn Regan and Nick Drake, Alex has been building up a steady reputation as one of the most dynamic live performers on the acoustic scene. With several releases already under his belt (including last year’s bouncy single Climb), this latest release finds Alex in a more mellow frame of mind.

The opening song Back Of The Pack is restrained yet joyous. However, I found Hunt to be the better track and perhaps should have been the A-side but this hardly matters, as all three tracks are worth a listen. Strong performances and first rate production help to make this Alex Hulme’s most accessible collection to date.

Back Of The Pack is available to download from BandCamp
