Listen Up! No. 83: The Lionheart Brothers - The Desert

Tweet

Norwegian quartet The Lionheart Brothers serve notice of their impending second record, due later this year and as-yet untitled, with new track 'The Desert'. They've reigned in the bright psychedelic tones of their well-received (and Norwegian Grammy nominated) debut, 2008's Dizzy Kiss, instead opting to decorate a pulsing rhythm section with murky vocals and a blizzard of pitch-shifting shoegaze atmospherics.Aptly, the video mimics the guitar hook, twisting round and round in queasy unison with the music - while someone plays silly buggers in the snow.

Interesting sideways cut of one of the otherwise duller offerings from the Brooklyn (/Florida) quartet. My only surprise is that it's not Ian Carmichael (yes, they love Sarah Records) providing the remixing services - watch this space.
