Lord Jane Release the Lifting of the Fog
Ready for Friday? If you’re not, then surely this track from Belfast’s Lord Jane will help get your started right on your day. You’ll find the track below kicking off their new Lifting of the Fog EP, and while they definitely work with some of those angular riffs that have been popularized in the post-punk genre, the group teeter on the edge with some pop-punk tendencies too, especially in the vocal performance. It’s a really big sound, but it also is an illustration that the group has a sound that remains difficult to define. You can find the whole of the new EP right HERE.
Throughout the string of stellar singles this season Club 8 have relied upon their electronic skillset to pump out hooks galore, but on their latest bop, the group are employing a more subtle piece, allowing the vocals to control the tune’s narrative. You’ll find moments in this track where they feel as if they’re nearing old school Camera Obscura methodology, operating with that high melody, with the backbeat just giving the song a bit of life and springiness. They always know how to come in at just the right time, bringing all the pieces together and leaving us with another enjoyable pop adventure.
