| Esper Scout - Belay/Carpet Of A Crest |
Release Date: 6th October 2014
Leeds ladies Esper Scout are back
with a new double A-0side single and I really want to like this more than the
last one I reviewed from the quartet. The first of the two a-sides, 'Belay', starts
promisingly like a grunge-pop behemoth with grinding guitars, thudding drums and a
serious wail that cuts through the darkness and danger of the music like the
Bat signal over Gotham City. 'Carpet Of A Crest' is the other half of these
single release and the menacing edge is still there but there is more of an
indie feel along the lines of Echobelly, Lush or My Vitriol and although the
vocals retain the bite then lack some of the smoothness and clarity of the
first track. The single goes further towards realising the promise that Esper
Scout have always displayed, a long way further, but there is still some way to
go before they are at the peak of their game. They can make it though, I'm sure
of that.
