After their critically acclaimed self-titled album released in 2011, The Son(s) return with their latest EP Leviathan, out now on Olive Grove Records.
To celebrate the release of the EP, the band have uploaded the fantastic video for the EP track "If I Hear You Talk Apostrophes Again..." to their YouTube page.
The track was also released as a free download, which you can grab from the A Badge of Friendship Soundcloud page.
Leviathan was recorded in the middle of winter in an old, cold, empty flat in Edinburgh and, as a result, each track is dripping with atmosphere. The EP picks up where last year's self-titled debut album left off, tipping a hat to the laid back, stripped down qualities of Americana, with tracks like "Cocksure Boys" and "Shot Out A Cannon" utilising echoey minimalist guitar and harmonious vocals to summon images and sounds reminiscent of The Beta Band at their best.
As always, strong lyrics are at the forefront of this release, with each track encapsulated in its own world while The Son(s) paint metaphysical pictures in the mind's eye of the listener.
The Son(s) previous releases received great support from the press, with the single Radar featuring as Track Of The Day on Spinner and Classic Rock Magazine (online) plus some outstanding reviews from the likes of The Line of Best Fit, Sunday Mail (4/5) and The Skinny (4/5).They also received support from BBC 6Music’s Gideon Coe and Tom Robinson plus BBC Radio 1 Scotland’s Vic Galloway and Ally Mcrae. Leviathan is a worthy follow-up to an already impressive body of work.
Leviathan is available to buy now via the band's Bandcamp page.
Leviathan EP is available on Olive Grove Records as a download and limited edition cassette tape, complete with intriguing inlay artwork.
Physical copies of the EP are available but extremely limited, however, we have digital promos and streams of the EP available upon request.
