| Parlour Tricks - Lovesongs/Requiem |
Release Date: Out Now
I feel like I should have heard
about these guys and girls already but I haven't and that seems like a real shame. Anyway,
I've heard about them now and it is my duty to ensure that any of you fine
people out there who haven't already had the pleasure don't go any longer
without some pleasuring. The first track on this double A-side is 'Lovesongs'
and immediately the New York six piece draw you in with a furtive electro
rumble followed by some sultry vocals and delicately placed piano notes. This
is the sound of dawn breaking over a city skyline on a day when you've decided
to change things so the anticipation and excitement just builds and builds throughout
like something rising inside your every sinew. 'Requiem' continues the rumbling
keys motif but makes more of the triple vocal effect with harmonies and riot
girl shouted backing vocals adding layer upon layer. Some scratchy guitars and
subtle beats all add to the soup and that day which started so well on
'Lovesongs' is just getting better and better. It's not an exact fit but if LCD
Soundsystem were ever to perform again these guys would be the perfect opening
act but that will have to happen soon as these six will outgrow support slots
fairly soon if there is any justice in the world.
