Starsailor – Listen To Your Heart (Cooking Vinyl)
 |
| Starsailor - Listen To Your Heart |
Release Date: Out Now
Right then, hands up if you
remember Starsailor. Big indie hopes of the late 90s and early 00s? Yeah, I had
a friend who was a big fan but then they faded in the shadow of Coldplay’s
rising star and got pretty much forgotten about. But, as with many bands of
that era, Starsailor are back with a new
single and, do you know what, it’s not half bad. ‘Listen To Your Heart’ starts
with all the bombast of a Killers or Arcade Fire romp but then settles in to a
chugging and insistent rhythm that is pitched somewhere between the triumphant
indie of Reverend & The Makers and the elegance of an Embrace number. James
Walsh’s vocals are still reassuringly powerful and tender in equal measure and
this song explores those areas that the likes of James and Coldplay do at their
best so, whisper it, we might just be talking about a comeback.
