Washing Away The January Blues
Need something to break the post Christmas blues? New Year's resolutions already dead and buried? Well, fear not, there is a remedy to banish the dullness of January, one that would actually work any time of year courtesy of Pistols At Dawn. Laid back whilst stealthy and brandishing an inescapable melodic hook, Pistols At Dawn's latest single, "Backwards" is the ideal tonic to ease your troubles away. Part folk, part electronic and with a slight rock inkling, 'Backwards' saunters out of the speakers like a long lost friend, reassuringly releasing a riff fused melody that oozes into your consciousness instantly. Add to this the wonderfully dark and beautifully understated vocals of Dan McLaclan and it's obvious that the London trio are onto a winning formula. 'Man. Wolf. Man' picks up the tempo somewhat whilst still retaining that tranquil, laid back feel leaving 'Fugitives' to close proceedings with a sinister darkness that won't fail to excite. Forget the diets, forget the detox, Pistols At Dawn effortlessly ease you into the New Year without having to step foot near a gym.
