Release Date: 21st October 2013
Well, this is new. I mean,
totally and entirely new. Here we have an eleven piece band fusing live
classical music (no, not a sample) with indie, dub and reggae vibes whilst
drawing on Mozart for musical inspiration and a sense of social dysfunction for
lyrical direction. This is a genuinely refreshing experience as the
operatically voiced Josephine leads her gaggle of artizans through a musical
journey that takes you from the Royal Opera House down to the corner of Brixton
High Street stopping at every pub venue and rehearsal room in between.
'Lacrymosa' , literally translated as weeping in Latin, is an ambitious,
adventurous and brave song that ebbs and flows with a musical liquidity that
many bands fail to achieve when playing just one genre but to achieve this with
numerous genres in one song is even more impressive. I'm going to keep an eye on these guys to see
what they come up with in the future and I think you should too - I just hope
they resist the lure of Britain's Got Talent...
