Back to it! First up 3 EPs. Even with all the artists and releases that I cover, I do have pet bands and Brooklyn's Late Cambrian are certainly one. I adore them and John Wlaysewski is an inspired songwriter. Every song is not like the one before.
The band is incredibly melodic, but the songs have unexpected twists and turns. They constantly appear on the LTTW Playlist, I knew that Kin Precipice was the next single and had it ready for Monday, but the surprise was that it has been released as part of an EP.
The song is fine story telling, a little melancholic and brooding, another great addition to the catalogue and a particularly engaging Guitar solo in what loosely is the middle 8. Also included is the previous single, Calypso, as you might expect, completely different.
Calypso is all 80s Funk, driven by a killer bassline. Together approaches 6 minutes and is totally awesome, a snapshot of the quality of songs that are constantly delivered. In essence, a Pop Rock joy, but with hints of Classic Rock and Psych Pop that gets heavy at times.
The fourth song is an extended version of the superb How I Bleed, possibly my favourite Late Cambrian song. Again driven by the Bass, but a joyous listen with a touch of Glam Rock and a killer chorus with a closing rock out rounding off a fine EP.
Late Cambrian are one of the bands that I always associate with here. A sort of discovery of ours. I hope that we have helped to get more to listen to them, because they are one of the most interesting acts around, hints of others, but totally themselves. If they are new to you, this is a great place to start.
You can listen to and buy the EP here.
