Bright
Eyes - Hot Knives
After tours of North America the UK with festival appearances, Bright
Eyes release the second single from their widely acclaimed album ‘Cassadaga’.
It’s exactly what you’ve become to expect of Conor Oberst
and co, folksy, rhythmic and with windswept vocals, there’s strings
and rolling drums thrown in there too for good measure. The sound is similar
to Arcade Fire, with comparable aesthetics in the form of the orchestral
factor and the nostalgic lyrics. This one’s tough to review, it’s
a great song without being too mainstream, it would sit perfectly on ‘Wind
in the Wires’ by Patrick Wolf. And that’s no bad thing.
