Inspired by Buckley, Cash, Drake, Cope and Kilmister, Costin writes songs for the mystified and heartbroken...

Huw Costin is a British singer-songwriter known for his emotional vocal style, melancholic lyrics, and a penchant for writing nifty pop songs when the mood takes him. He's worked with both Brian Eno and Mark Lanegan, but mostly, his musical journey has been a ramble around the more obscure reaches of the indie world. Known for his output with leftfield disco artists Smith & Mudd as well as rock bands Manatee, The Kull, and Earth The Californian Love Dream, Costin is currently writing and performing with his band Torn Sail, as well as putting the final touches to his second solo album. 

As influenced by the folk, country, and rock of the 60’s and 70’s as the Nottingham ambient scene of the early nineties, Costin has been compared to the likes of Big Star, Ian Brown, Elbow, and Jeff Buckley. 

His debut solo album - Regrets - found it’s way into the NME Yearbook as a top 10 album despite being unfinished and unreleased. The follow-up is just around the corner. 

Praise for Regrets: 

“It’s like the third Big Star album mixed with the Stone Roses… It’ll make you cry.” NME (Yearbook Top 10) 

“an emotive recollection of a love gone wrong” UNCUT ****
