Drakes Island – Move So Still
Drakes Island - Move So Still
Release Date: 19th April 2019
It took me a couple of attempts
to realise that this second release from South Devon collective Drakes Island
just has an incredibly slow and eerie intro. ‘Move So Still’ emerges from the
silence like someone playing a haunted steel drum at the base of one of the
long abandoned tunnels on the atoll they are named after. However, about a
quarter of the way through a bluesy guitar joins in and then comes the
semi-slurred vocal ramblings that talk of tales from afar while ushering you on
to a dancefloor of sorts. The rhythm jerks and shuffles with glorious
irregularity and I’m reminded of much missed Cambridge outfit the Winter Kings
who had a similar sense of the dramatic fused with the blues and a bottle of
whisky. Also, and I’m just putting this out there, I feel like there is the
potential for a great dance remix of this track if anyone is interested.
