 This song has the potential to be the feel good indie anthem of the year. It is so different yet it sounds as if you have always had 51 Breaks in your record collection. Embers feels like a classic you have loved but with its modern twist you know that it is setting the pace for more new and exciting music.
A certain aspect of sensuous confidence oozes from the rhythmic intro that captures your instantly. The crisp vocals of Michael Turner tug on every musical taste bud whilst sounding nostalgic and evocative of early Britpop. The band conveys pure coolness and sophistication in every beat of this profound song. Embers epic melodic tones are unshakeable and the bands musical skill is clear from the outset, a real showcase of what this band can do. They have taken all the best bits of music from the past and added their own unique modern twist to make them one of the most promising bands to come from Birmingham since the Editors. It is a smouldering feel good song, perfect for listening to just before you go out on the town, filling you with an air of confidence and making you as happy as the preverbal Larry. This alternative four piece sound like they were born to perform and share their music with the world. Having already supported the likes of Little Man Tate and the Maccabees they are quickly earning more indie credentials than one of Pete Doherty's Trilby's. They are currently working non-exclusively with basement studios management to raise their profile and released a 3 track CD earlier this month. They have been included in two issues of NME, were included in Kerrang magazine, and were interviewed on BBC WM last year. This is band are clearly well on their way down the twisty path to indie grandeur and the musical recognition they blatantly deserve.
