And I will sink for you.

Ever since I recieved Tall Ships EP last weekend I have continued to go back and keep listening to it again and again, each time appreciating it much more than I did before.


At first the EP's opener 'Books' took me aback with the way it contrasts between almost techno synths in it's initial build up followed by a calmness provided by the vocals and then back to the synths again, it just made me stand up and take notice.

It wasn't until the past few days that I really began to appreciate just how good the EP's final track 'Vessels' really is. I really love the opening lines especially, the first two minutes just seep regret and sorrow, it just takes me away, it really is outstanding. It's up on the myspace so I suggest that you give it a good thorough looking at .

You cand ownload 'Beanie' off the EP for free!

You really should check this lot out, the EP is available to pre-order through Big Scary Monsters and limited to just 250 hand-printed copies, get to it, totally worth a listen!

Keep your heads above water people!

This is meteoric right here.

The Laureates combine many things that are good about music right now, atmospheric backdrops, interesting contrast between a full sound and empty space, strong use of the bass, crooning vocals and keys that are audible above the other instruments and not just lost in the crowd.

Oh and to go with that the songs are pretty damn good as well.



Not a bad looking bunch of chaps either.

So with all these things in hand, I for sure am gonna be keeping a keen eye on these lot as I've got a sneaky eeling that they're on the rise.

What are you waiting for?

Move your fine behinds to their myspace and check them out, especially 'You Can Stay', it's pretty darn sweet.

Oh and heads up to Aaron from Young Vinyls for this!

Keep chirpy,
Elliot
