Khaylan – Dancer

| Khaylan - Dancer |
The delicate and dramatic opening
to new single ‘Dancer’ from London outfit Khaylan suggests this is going to be
a moody affair but the Muse playbook was obviously consulted in the making of
this track. The dirty bass and militarily stomping drums are pure Muse while
the dramatic keys and guitars speak of Matt Bellamy in a way that is more
homage than rip-off. Now, throw in the vocals that veer in to the falsetto from
time-to-time and you can’t help but enjoy this if, like me, you’re a fan of the
Devon trio minus some of the overblown histrionics. Inspiration aside, this is
an accomplished piece with some serious musicianship behind it and a chorus
that sticks in your head so it’s worth giving it a spin if that sounds like
something that would improve your life.
