The Jezabels release their debut album in the UK March next year (it's already out and reached the dizzy heights of number two in the Australian chart), in preparation they've shared the second single from it as a free download (below), "Try Colour" follows the wonderful "Endless Summer", led by a powerful rhythmic drums, echoey guitars and dark ambient keys it's got everything I've come to expect (and love) about what is probably Australia's strongest current act, sweeping cinematic indie rock that's confident, strong and sure to propel the four piece on their way to arenas befitting their huge sound.
The band play a one-off London date at Heaven on the 29th (tickets) on the way home from their current state-side tour. I went to their last show at XOYO and it was enormous. Hayley's powerhouse vocals literally bouncing off the walls, their sound thunderous and intense at time and then also delicate, beautiful. This spectrum of light and dark is what I like about them so much and with three EP's and tracks from the forthcoming album too, they've enough material to make an hour fly by.
The Jezabels - Try Colour
Ah it's strange. Their three EP's grabbed me more or less instantly (especially She's So Hard), but the album... not really, at least yet.
ReplyDeleteUnderstand where you are coming from, the album takes more patience and time than the EP's and I'm not sure it reaches the highs of Sahara Mahala, Mace Spary and Hurt Me. Still, they are a great, great band.
