Motion Picture Soundtrack have been around for 18months,
they are based in Canterbury and they have been
quite heavy on the live circuit touring as much
as they can but they have been quite shy when it
comes to releasing music as they have just completed
work on their forthcoming debut album but have decided
to make their mark on the physical release side
of things with a short 3 track EP called ‘Departure’
which is sure to give everyone a true taste of what
the band are all about.
The EP opens up with the title track ‘Departure’
and from the start the song is a classic, it is
so listenable and catchy and full of swooping
moments that take on such a beautiful journey,
the song sounds like it should be played in massive
stadiums with 1000’s of people singing along,
everything from the distorted guitars to the beautiful
vocal melodies make this song a classic.
‘Faults Of a Realist’ is more a chilled
down cinematic track, the drums are constant yet
uplifting sounding, the guitars are quite screechy
sounding, whilst Alastair Blackwood’s vocals
come across emotionally as he sings his heart
and soul out in such an uplifting yet mellow way.
Just as you think these guys couldn’t get
any more mellow and sleepy sounding in their songs
we get to the closing track of the EP ‘Mirrors’,
the song is so chilled sounding it is lead by
a quiet piano piece running throughout with Alastair
Blackwood once again oozing in style with his
quiet yet beautiful sounding vocals.
Motion Picture Soundtrack are an emotional cinematic
sounding band, they have a sound that is so mellow
yet uplifting it could lift the roof off arenas
around the country, these guys defiantly need
to be heard and a support slot with Muse needs
to be theirs in the near future as these guys
would be the perfect band to open for the stadium
rock gods that are Muse.
4/5
