Strike the Colours: Bare Legs In a Storm
Arggh.. delay in posting, proving that when my head is full of tech stuff – specifically Git this time around – music isn’t boisterous enough to barge in and kick it out.
Strike the Colours make music that seems to grab the best bits from all my favourite bands and weaves them together in tingly shifting ways. This track from their debut EP (and yes, it’s a proper EP) is my favourite because of the way Jenny Reeve’s voice curls round the words and what happens after the piano break.
Inexplicably discovered on the BBC’s TV show Rapal. I don’t know quite why they turned up there, rather than somewhere more accessible, but I’m glad they did.
