New young Dundee band who, on the strength of this release, are blowing a breath of fresh air through the local music scene. The lead track is nothing short of sensational – it's got everything – guitars, distinct and individual lead vocals, huge harmonies, great production and some wicked playing. The track opens with an ascending guitar riff as the rhythm section immediately drive the piece forward. Over this, the lead vocalist immediately comes in with a solid, strong voice that has more similarities to some of the finest talents on the old Manchester Factory Records scene than anything out of modern Scottish indie and that voice just carries the song effortlessly through, upfront and taking nothing away from the band. The song flows with some gutsy backing from the rhythm guitars, deep bass and pounding drumming as the verse ascends via brief bursts of staccato guitar blips, the vocal full of passion and imploring tension. The backing drops back briefly for a twist before the multi-tracked vocals then soar into this huge, epic and magical chorus as the rhythm section don't miss a trick and the guitars power up to return to the meaty riffing, then it's back to the verses as this stunning slice of hypnotic indie burns into your brain, so catchy yet almost dark in its feel and approach while that chorus just carries you up and takes you off to the skies as a swirling backing ensues. This leads to a brief instrumental outro where the guitars cut loose and an ascending sea of leads cuts right through as it cycles and drives, the rhythm section as strong and dependable as throughout, and it ends – fantastic. The second track, “Wake Up Now” is similar only this time much beefier and bouncier, altogether more reliant on riffing and rhythms as choppy beats and bass-end guitars provide the instrumental meat, while this time the vocal is altogether lighter but no less strong, this time the emotion more observational and stating its case as another lyrically strong song drives an expressway through to your head and heart. The mood is one of fire and strident determination rather than the dark strength of the previous song and, as such, really hits the spot in a slightly different way. Overall, two great tracks that herald the arrival of a band to be watched with anticipation and enjoyment.
