Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Manchester-based indie-rock outfit Longview are in pursuit of a grand, romantic--indeed, religious--vision, and on their debut album, Mercury, they realise it with no lack of wide-eyed faith. "God's love will save our lives / It will come shining bright," sings frontman Rob McVey on the opening "Further", indicating, in this age when Christian rock is typically dismissed as the tritest of the trite, a rather surprising bravery of conviction. Luckily, however, there's far more to Mercury than over-serious religious zeal. Fulsome guitar vistas like "Will You Wait Here" and "Electricity" touch at the dreamy psychedelia of fellow Mancunians Doves or Elbow--albeit an Elbow realised without Guy Garvey's trademarked curmudgeonly attitude and invested with a hearty optimism. Importantly, for Longview, there are hit singles in the waiting here: "I Would" is a windswept take on the sort of lilting piano balladry that Coldplay did before them, and Echo and the Bunnymen did long before them; and the thunderous "When You Sleep" marches along with a righteous ire little seen since the Smiths flounced through these parts. --Louis Pattison
Description
Debut album by Manchester indie band snapped up by East West after their demo was played on influential London radio station XFM. With a chiming, lush and full sound that echoes Doves, Radiohead, Coldplay, Ride, early Verve and Jeff Buckley, they aim to strike a chord with their deep, emotionally resonant songwriting. Includes the singles 'Further', 'Nowhere', 'When You Sleep' and 'Electricity'.
