| Horse Party - Out Of Sight/Receiver |
Release Date: 23rd February 2015
Horse Party were one of my
favourite finds of 2014 and their debut album was a thing of beauty so I'm glad
they're not wasting any time in 2015 with getting a new single out. The first
of the two featured tracks from the Bury St Edmunds trio is 'Out Of Sight'
kicks in with a nervous, twitchy riff before the brooding vocals of Ellie
Langley slide in from stage left and the confidence of the track grows by the
second. Somewhere between Queens Of The Stone Age, Juliette Lewis, the Knack
and Suzi Quatro is where this track lives and, frankly, it's giving me the
horn. The guitars slide and glide like a well old machine with steam escaping
through the cymbal crashes as the intensity grows to a gorgeous climax.
'Receiver' is t'other track and there is a punkier, darker feel to the riff
from the word go and the drums only serve to push things along at a tasty lick.
Seymour Quigley is an unlikely rock star name but in the same way that the
Young Knives are not the kind of guys you'd expect to sweat blood onstage (even
though they do, through their tweed) Seymour's voice is dripping in rock'n'roll
cool. Horse Party really are an absolutely astounding band who have a talent
for songwriting and layering on some serious style. Time to get behind some
serious talent people, you know what to do.
