But something we mostly forget is choices, it’s consequences and how they affect us. Well i have just the perfect track to talk to you about life’s choices from ma man here Tom Minor, the versatile North London singer-raconteur, who has once again gone beyond expectations with his latest single, “Where Do You See Yourself in Five Years?” Incase you don’t know, then in here to tell you this isn’t your average indie rock. This is a unique blend of musical elements that puts together fuzzed-out guitars, a carousel organ, Greek chorus calls and responses, layers of percussion, marching echoes, and a touch of evil harmonica by Teaboy Palmer, the track’s producer.
