Release Notes:
Rise Up was forged in the creative fires of StockportÆs Moolah
Rouge Studios, the recording/rehearsal studio complex which
the Mcleod Brothers have built up over the past few years, and
which has become a creative hub for Manchester artists such as
Badly Drawn Boy, Johnny Marr and I Am Kloot. The result is a
clutch of ten storey pop classics. Check the classic pop
landscapes of Oh My Soul - built, like the very best songs, on
a refrain so delicately simple it almost isnÆt there. Or the
soaring sensibilities of Streetlight Bouquet - its thwarted
throb of urban romance caught in the rich craw of Martin
TraversÆs throat. Or indeed the Steinway-pounding bridges and
sugar sweet refrains of Doggerel - a Walker Brothers style
incantation of infectious coffee house philosophy. Rise up is
an affirmation of the power of pop music in all its glorious
departments ûvoice, melody, arrangement and passion - to stir
the soul like nothing else can.
