| Death In Texas - Oil & The Water |
This humble blog recently reviewed
an astounding single called 'Fear of the Hundred' by UK based trio Death In
Texas that quite frankly blew several pairs of socks in a variety of directions
from a selection of appendages. So when follow up single, 'Oil & The
Water', popped up in my inbox I was simultaneously excited and nervous - would
it match up or prove the band to be a one-song-wonder. They're not, this is
another triumph. 'Oil & The Water' is full of dramatic, Rachmaninov-esque piano
work and operatic but understated vocals from front-woman Ruth Power as well as
jazzy, explorative drumming all woven together with tight, hypnotic bass lines.
For musical comparisons then you might as well read my previous review of these
guys but all you need to know right now is that these guys have passed my two
single test - if a band releases two singles that I love then I will buy the
album. So the only question remaining is, where is the album? Huh? Come on
guys, stop holding out on us!
