Love Is Not Control (Jan’15) is an indie rock song that starts with a light weight groove and sounding like Bahamas. The guitar gets a few flicks in the verses and builds up in the hypnotic choruses. There are a few changes of pace, in particular an intense breakdown, but all told the repetitive singing is the bump of this song.
Forced her sing and the gage that brings
No love, no joy, no can, no soul”
Love
Is Not Control is the first single off their second
self-titled album To Kill A King
(March’15). The English indie rock band came kicking and screaming into the
world in 2010 and call Leeds and London home.
To Kill A King have been described as similar to The National, Grizzly Bear and
Frightened Rabbit. Or a blend of the Black Keys and Fleet Foxes.
The band are bossom buddies with Dan Smith lead singer of Bastille and you can find tunes they play together and a Batille remix of one of their tunes Bloody Shirt.
Shit you need to know:
The new long player was recorded with Mark
Crew, famous for doing the hard yards with Bastille and Rag’n’Bone Man.
The bands aim in recording the new album was to create
something,“…more optimistic and life-affirming”.
Gig Slutz discussing the album threw around words like “anthemic indie”,
“the passion shines through,” and called it “stadium ready”.
The Guardian called the new album To Kill A King, “instantly, insanely
catchy, with feverish rhythms and call-and-response routines.” They also mentioned it didn’t reinvent the wheel.
The band are bossom buddies with Dan Smith lead singer of Bastille and you can find tunes they play together and a Batille remix of one of their tunes Bloody Shirt.
One of the band members, Josh Taffel, had a hard night on the piss with a couple of
oil workers in Texas and ended up with a tattoo of Texas on his back.
Poking a hole in the smoke is left to
the English lads Bastille and their worldwide indie pop hit Pompeii (2013).
