For a debut release, Symptoms is one hell of an introduction. London-based singer-songwriter Moncrieff – one of Adele’s former backing vocalists – describes his music as ‘neo-noir’. But that’s just a word, isn’t it? To make it a little more concrete, I’d like to throw in terms like soulful and bluesy. And to make sure you know what I mean by that, think equal parts Hozier and Rag ‘n’ Bone Man.

The accompanying music video takes inspiration from Quentin Tarantino and neo-noir films, both of which have influenced Moncrieff’s song-writing as well.
