| Mowbeck - Vaseline |
Release Date: Out Now
Regular readers will know I don’t
go much for genres but Nottingham lads Mowbeck have come up with the term
Gritpop to describe their music and I kinda like that…but is it accurate?
Latest single ‘Vaseline’ is certainly dark as the haunting keyboard notes and
shadowy vocal bleed in from the corners. The quartet have developed a sound
that is part alt-pop and part bleak-indie which works so well as they occupy
the space that is more accessible than the National, more edgy and damaged than
Bastille and more authentic then pretty much every artist occupying a place in
the top 40 at the moment. This might be dressed up in a slick black suit with
perfectly fitting Raybans but this song comes from a raw emotion bubbling deep
inside and that comes out in the music as well as the excellent video. A real
contender of a song but also a band surely set to do something pretty big in
2017.
