Union Sound Set - Hiding PlacesUnion Sound Set – Hiding Places

Union Sound Set are the latest alternative rock band to be unleashed upon us and they have already completed tours with high profile bands such as Fightstar, The Boxer Rebellion, The Stills, Red Light Company and People In Planes and since then they have taken on new guitarist Dan Best and are set to release their first single ‘Hiding Places’ since working with a brand new line up.

‘Hiding Places’ is a beautiful sounding indie song where the vocals flow at such a great pace and ooze in style and sound, the instrumental work in quite basic and toned down sounding but there are some fantastic soundscapes that come and go throughout the song giving it a slight eerie feel.

The b-side ‘Parachutes And Flying Machines’ is even more toned down than the main single release and really does focus on the mellow instrumental work and beautiful soundscapes to grab your attention and it surely does do that as the song is so thrilling to listen to from start to finish and the instrumental work will leave the hairs on your spine standing up.

If you remember the rock band Prego then you will be half way to knowing who Union Sound Set are as they are made up of Edd Simpson, Simon Brifcliffe and Caspar Williamson from Prego with Alex Walker and Dan Best added to the mix to help create a whole new band who have a whole new set of ideas and goals which they may well reach.

4/5
