Sea Stacks - Glassy-Eyed (The Old Man Of Stoer)

| Sea Stacks - Glassy-Eyed |
Release Date: 7th April 2014
Everyone's favourite orchestral
indie band Sea Stacks are back! 'Woohoo' I hear you cry. Well, temper your
enthusiasm dear boy as this new single, 'Glassy Eyed', is a funereal piece that
is seemingly about either drowning or watching someone drown. Cheery. Either
way, the swooning strings and head honcho Davy Berryman's thick, syrupy vocals
are a delight and you wouldn't mind if this music slowly filled your lungs
until all you could see was a bright, inviting light. The A-side is backed with
'Feather Dealt' which is a much lighter tune with the trademark strings and
undulating melodies that allow for pins to drop in between the rich and warm
movements of bow on string. Sea Stacks could be in danger of being classed as a
novelty band but the songs are good enough to be played out on an old pub piano
and still work so who am I to pour scorn on their ambition. Nobody, that's who.
