"The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore" was the title of the band's last post-rock opus, which definitely caught the attention of many sigur ros, mogwai lovers like myself. A little while back I was told by a friend to check out a new song that they had posted on their myspace page called "This Place". Apparently they are very close to releasing their new album which will be called "It Doesn't Matter" and if "This Place" is any indication its gonna be one to look out for. If for no other reason you should listen to "This Place" because it is first time Saxon Shore has added vocals to the mix, which are beautifully voiced by someone named Caroline (don't know her last name as of now). As far as I know this may be the only song on the album to include a singer, but I for one hope its not the last. Listen here
"exquisite death.." definitely caught my attention too. the new song is awesome, ive listened to it several times already since they posted it.
ReplyDeleteCaroline (no last name) is a japanese/american singer who has a very cute album of chilled electropop out on temporary residence.
