Heavenly Share Scene Stealing Video
The new single from Heavenly opens with one of the band’s secret weapons, the combined swell of melody from Amelia and Cathy, and that gets things started in the right direction. Angular strums come in, with the the bass and drums creating a head-bobbing bounce that provides the energy with a light sway as they dive into the tune’s jittering grooves. Little bits of synth and guitar stabs are offered in this instrumental breakdown that reminds me how close jangling guitars are to classic reggae stepping. They’ve incorporated a modern twist on the A-Ha classic “Take On Me” video that you can catch below, only it’s spun through a YouTube video format as opposed to the comic version from the original. Highway to Heavenly is out via Skepwax on February 27th.
