| Lionhall - Soldiers |
Release Date: 26th August 2013
Newcastle based duo Lionhall with
another with another serving of The XX with bigger beats and more powerful
vocals. 'Soldiers' has beats that Sleigh Bells would be proud of and the kind
of wistful guitars that are so popular these days which underpin the ranging
vocals. But that's kind of it. Sure this atmospheric and sparse but almost to
the point of evoking zero emotion. It's a conundrum as the music has a fairly
organic feel to it, beats aside, but the overriding feeling I am left with is
one of emptiness. Maybe that's what Lionhall were going for and, if so, they've
hit the nail on the head, but it just leaves me feeling a little hollow and
flat I'm afraid.
