NMR - Neil Gilmartin - The Quiet Drift  (2026)

Opening with some very cool Chorused chords this track develops into something quite different !

Neils vocal tone and delivery reminds me very much of Rufus Wainwright and even Nik Kershaw at times, very smooth amd melodic with nice vibrato.

The guitar break takes us a little by surprise with its super Fuzz overdriven delivery, but its cool, I like surprises in tracks !

Overall this is a really well delivered track, mix and production is great, check it out and let Neil know what you think.

Neil Gilmartin - Bio

London-born independent artist Neil Gilmartin has officially released his brand new EP, Life Begins at 42, now available across all major streaming platforms.

Self-described as the pioneer of the “Flat-White Soft-Grunge 80s-Power-Pop Revival,” Gilmartin serves up a heavily caffeinated cocktail of:

• Lush vocal harmonies

• Jingly-jangly acoustic guitars

• Nasty overdriven solos

• The occasional cheeky synth

The result is a nostalgic yet fresh sound that blends soft-grunge textures with melodic power-pop sensibilities — equal parts retro warmth and indie punch.
