Good Your Escape |
Sonically uplifting guitars and huge vocals soar
overhead while heavy beats
pound away with solid bass riffs. Points of
reference would be The Smashing
Pumpkins, At The Drive-In, Radiohead and U2 though
there's more to Make Good Your Escape than these
imply. New York.

A
sonic backdrop laden with atmosphere.
Merged into this mix are the effects-laden vocals
and decks of Nick Rilke.
The subjects of the lyrics range from the personal
to the political, from rants to reminiscence,
all characterised by a melancholic humanity shot
through with scepticism.

and uncompromised glamour, and all carried off
with unfaltering elegance and suavity. |
