When I first heard ‘Parallel Worlds’
by Elliot Minor I couldn’t quite believe my
ears as the song was so damn good, in fact it kicked
serious arse especially for a band that many people
were claiming to be a posh version of Busted who
could actually play their instruments, comments
like these you just have to take with a pinch of
salt and make up your own mind and that’s
what I did and collected every single on the way
whilst waiting for the band to release their very
long awaited self titled debut album which was well
worth the wait and rocked in so many ways.
During the earlier part of 2009 Elliot Minor
pretty much disappeared from the music scene there
was no tours or mention of what they were really
doing but that’s because the band have been
hard at work writing their second album which
is due for release in October but if it’s
anything like their debut album then the release
date could keep changing, in the meantime the
band are releasing ‘Solaris’ on July
6th which happens to be the first song to come
off their as yet untitled second album.
‘Solaris’ has that signature Elliot
Minor keyboard piece running throughout with Ali
Paul taking full keyboard duties, the duel vocals
from Alex Davies and Ed Minton work as well as
ever and overall the song sounds massive with
all the arrangements and pin point perfect production,
the only downside is that I was expected them
to come back with another fast paced rocky single
especially after this long wait, but ‘Solaris’
is more like your token slow slushy Elliot Minor
song in the same style as ‘Broken Minor’
and ‘Last Call To New York’ was on
their previous album, this is no way a bad thing
but just not what I hoped for.
4/5
