Superkings
- Hit The Ground Running/Wolves & Ravens (Feedback Records) 18/06/2007
N:
To start off I like a band who are able to use a piano arrangement to
good effect and on 'Hit The Ground...' that's certainly the case. This
is a song filled with great imagery, as is the case on 'Wolves...',
albeit presented totally differently. Tone you explain...
T: Some would call the lead track "morose", but it's full
of sophisticated charm and is leftfield enough to make an immediate
impact, whereas "Wolves and Ravens" has more of a carnival
atmosphere about it, perhaps even stealing the female vocal from "Cotton
Eyed Joe". This, despite sounding rather frightening, actually
works perfectly. A great, great release.
N: The only questions that remain to be answered are: When are the Superkings
going to release a full pack, will they be low or medium tar, and would
they like to use the Atomicduster imprint? 9/10
