Ok, firstly I would like to draw your attention to the brilliant concept that this wonderful indieprogrockpop trio from Kingston have put together for the release of their ace new single Propeller. 500 blank sleeves, various artists from all over the shop contributing to create a unique cover for each sleeve. Neat right? Ok, so onto the tune itself, anygood? OH MY GOD YES! Tubelord are one of my favourite new bands of the last year or two, after seeing them live twice last summer I instantly fell for engeric brand of indie rock with weird time changes, wonderful harmonies and many a pop twist. Propeller is a re-working of the track that appeared on early EP 'Square' and is the first single proper to be taken from highly anticipated debut album 'Our First Amercian Friends' (which is out next month - silly, silly excited!) This re-recording seems to have a bit more urgency in its opening as the kick drum and bass pound together in perfect unison building up for the next three and half minutes of high engery indie rock with sharp guitar work, catchy harmonies and enough twists and turns within its structure to keep you on your toes and leave you drooling for more. I understand that this doesn't say much about the tune, but seriously www.myspace.com/tubelord listen to it and then thank me later :) LETS HAVE THIS ALBUM THEN BOYO'S!Rating: 10/10
'Propeller' is released on 7" via Hassle records on September 28th.
