Release Notes:

Across the ocean in America, an eight piece band have been busy working
hard on their debut album Southern GothicÆ. Now they are ready to
unleash some live music on the UK, with some tour dates, and a single
release. My first impressions are of a band that pack quite a punch
with both their vocal performances, and instrumentation.

The first track on the CD, æSetbackÆ, explores the bands
synth/electronica side, and yes I would agree with those who might
pigeonhole the sound as being quite space age/psychedelic. It has
elements of 80Æs/New Wave sounds hidden in the arrangements, and a
quirky female vocal adds to the urgency in the pace of the track. The
overall focus though for me, is on the drums which rhythmically explode
early on in the song. This track is followed by the charmingly titled
æLove Is A MurderÆ, and although I doubted the wisdom of listening to
this just before Valentines Day, I really enjoyed the song. Out of the
two tracks, this is the one with the broader, more radio friendly
appeal, and a very catchy melody. Smooth slightly poppy vocals smoothly
work their way through the choruses, while thereÆs also a rap, and a
slightly fuzzy electro sound in the verses. All in all, itÆs harmonic,
well produced, and possibly my favourite of the two tracks.

I think including both æSetbackÆ, and æLove Is MurderÆ on their single
release is a wise move, and one that will fully illustrate their
potential as a multi-faceted band. They can do the
alternative/psychedelic tunes, and they can appeal to a mass audience
too. For someone who doesnÆt normally listen to this genre of music on
a personal level, I found I enjoyed this CD more than I expected.

æSetbackÆ is released on March 8th.
