| Cellar Door - Trapped In Amber EP |
The ethos as LWM is to review
anything and everything that comes my way. This is getting increasingly
difficult but so far this promise has been kept until, that is, the EP from
Cellar Door slipped through the cracks in my inbox and the review didn't get
written. Lucky, then, that Teesside are an insistent bunch and they sent it a
second time. Lucky for me as well, this is a short, sharp stab of mighty
indie-rock that I would be poorer for
not hearing. There are only two tracks here but opening number, 'Trapped In
Amber', is a snake-hipped, low-lit, smoky devil woman of a song that takes
latter day Arctic Monkeys and blends it with the more furious moments of the
Doors to make a beautifully tempting piece of musical delight. 'Higher Than
Heavens' on the other hand, is a more laid back, Sunday morning track steeped
in British indie influences from the La's and the Lightning Seeds to the Smiths
and Space. The rumbling drums and sweet bass line carry you away like a jokey
on a runaway horse but there's no need for a whip, enjoy the journey rather
than worrying about the destination. It's amazing what you find between the
cracks isn't it?
