Stornoway - Get Low (Cooking Vinyl)
Stornoway - Get Low |
Release Date: Out Now
I always a musical friend of mine
getting whipped in to a frenzy about Stornoway a few years back. He (Chris) was
absolutely convinced that they were going herald in a new dawn for music and
some sort of revolution within the loins of the music industry. This never
happened but the band have carved out a niche as one of the most respected and
critically acclaimed bands in the UK. Ahead of an imminent album release, this
new single 'Get Low' is a jauntily woozy piece of indie-pop that has the feel
of The Thrills or Belle & Sebastian at their most rural. A generally
strummed melody is embellished with some unexpected electronic bleeps and a
hugely US friendly production quality that is straight out of the Killers' back
pocket. Strangely, the video sees the quartet racing some geese along a
airstrip in a convertible BMW whilst playing their instruments along to the
song. Maybe Stornoway should be at the forefront of a revolution, I don't know,
but they're pretty ace either way. Don't you agree?
