The childhood adventures of Cheltenham four-piece The Lunar Towers continue with the new single ‘About Time’. Released today via Colorama Records, it was produced by Ric James. Banner image courtesy of Conor Fensam.
Vocally, Rory Moore has tapped into the smoky form of ‘Pillar 2 Post’ once more. No matter the increased urgency of the guitars around him, he finds a way of evoking Sarah Records legend James Hackett (The Orchids) with his laid-back drawl.
Joe Richardson and Rob Sewell’s guitars were awash with influences on the ‘Hurry Up and Wait’ EP. Here they’ve honed the influences into a precise style that answers the question ‘what if Norman Blake joined The Orchids?’. The fire injection into the heavenly sonic conjures images of young minds emerging from history’s shadows to forge new paths of optimism.
Lurking throughout are moments REM, The Byrds, and the spirit of The Coral’s ‘Distance Inbetween’ looms large. The touchpoints of the greats are being reimagined for a new generation and, with spring in the air, so now is hope with The Lunar Towers.
The Lunar Towers celebrate the release of ‘About Time’ at The Night Owl, Finsbury, London tomorrow night. Click image for tickets:
