| Mayflower - Sienna |
Release Date: Out Now
Manchester lads Mayflower are
getting noticed by the right people. Saint Steve Lamacy and Duke Guy Garvey are
already interested and other prominent DJs throughout the BBC network are
starting to give their support as well. This initial demo, 'Sienna', is being
touted around as an early calling card and it's something of a slow burner.
Meandering guitars and some ponderous drums all mingle to create a shoegazey
bed on which the vocals can lounge luxuriously. Elements of the Verve, Swim
Deep and Embrace are in there which is all good but on the evidence of this
single I'm struggling a little bit to see what all the fuss is about. I can
imagine this tune being a near religious experience if in the right venue with
the right amount of alcohol in your blood stream and nothing else to distract
you. However, the slightly muddy mix and my complete sobriety leaves me a
little cold on this one. Intriguing though, definitely intriguing.
