Gracious Losers Announce Six Road Ends
While the opening moments of the new single from Gracious Losers begins with a foreboding guitar sliding and bending, don’t look to pigeonhole the track as some sort of everyday folk tune. Instead, Jonathan Lilley and his 9-piece super group develop the tune into a bit of a moody pop burner. It starts with the joining up of vocal duties with Amanda McKeown, drafting a new melody to glue the tune together. Moving forward, keys tinker in the background and those bending strings seem to swell and swing, almost exalting the vocal display. It’s a unique trick, allowing the song to sound both forlorn and uplifting; this is the kind of magic you can expect on Six Road Ends, the new LP dropping on March 25th via Last Night from Glasgow.
