Release Notes:
There's probably some kind of sweepstakes going in the Broken
Records camp to see how many reviews will manage to shoe horn
in a mention of Arcade Fire. It's the kind of reference point
that appears everywhere, but rarely actually means an act are
anywhere near to the Canadians impossibly high standards. In
the case of this Edinburgh based bunch they're a damn site
closer than most.
'Slow Parade', their second single proper, is more understated
than might be expected. No massive, soaring epic to be found
here, but in it's lack of pomp there's a wonderful modesty to
be found. Lilting vocals and eerie strings give way to what's
essentially a charming, sweeping mood-lifter.
What's truly special about Broken Records, though, is the
obvious potential for something really remarkable. We await
more with glee.
