The Kays Lavelle – The Hours
By Milo | February 14, 2010
This first single from Edinburgh band The Kays Lavelle’s new album is being given away for free from tomorrow at Wiseblood Industries and already it’s getting the kind of positive buzz not seen since eagleowl’s last release.
Though it’s hard not to describe ‘The Hours’ as a 6 minute epic, don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s overblown and full of false bluster – it’s much more subtle than that.
Yes, the plaintive pianos and strings tug at the heartstrings, but its been done in a very understated way, and vocalist Euan McMeeken (who also writes the excellent The Steinberg Principle blog and runs a live music night in Edinburgh called Trampoline) sings with such genuine emotion and gentle passion that you are utterly convinced from the very first listen.
It all bodes very well for the forthcoming album.. have a listen for yourself.
