Catfish & The Bottlemen - Fallout (Island/Communion)
Catfish & The Bottlemen - Fallout |
Release Date: 7th July 2014
It's all a numbers game for
Catfish & The Bottlemen now. They've played hundreds of gigs over the past
12 month in front of thousands of fans. They've got two support slots coming up
with the crown prince of indie, Jake Bugg, and they're just about to release
their fifth single in a year. All this points towards the potential for a
number 1 album in September but for now let's concentrate on this last 7"
before they head out for the festival season. 'Fallout' was called the hottest
record in the world by Zane Low back in May and there's no doubting that there
is an epic, stadium sized feel to the song as it builds the layers of shimmying
cymbals and snarling guitars with a distinct 80s indie feel. However, I would
dare to say that this is the least immediate or infectious of the five singles
and this will be where the album thrives or fails - can the quartet maintain
the early momentum or is it going to be five singles we've all heard plus five
filler tracks. Only time will tell...
