Silhouettes
– Prufrocks Dream (Integrity Records)
CD/DL
Out Now
Wolverhampton
post-punk electronica rockers release their new single.
From the
forthcoming album Ever Moving Happiness Machines, Silhouettes release a cracker
of a single which whets your appetite for what promises to be an exciting long
player.
Based around
the earliest of T.S. Eliot’s major works, The Love Song Of J Alfred Prufrock,
the single acts as a sequel to the story of the tortured psyche of the modern
man. Confused? Don’t be. In short it’s a mighty fine single from the
five piece which could quite easily delight stadium audiences in abundance.
Sounding
like early Keane with balls with a hint of Guy Garvey, Prufrocks Dream bounds
along from the off with a gripping guitar hook and intriguing vocals which lead
to an unforgettable chorus. Vocals soar
and swirl around cascading drums and bass lines. Impressed?
I am, and others should be too.
Flip side
features a Clogmill Remix of Black Within The Black where the fellow album
track is given the drum ‘n’ bass treatment displaying a whole new angle to the
group. Again with the vocals which
subtly glide along a backdrop of thumping drumbeats and gritty bass lines.
There’s
clearly a lot to Silhouettes and their plucky approach to their sound. Uncompromising
and relentless, they write tracks that are both raucous and flowing. Silhouettes might just have released one of
the singles of the year.
