You could forgive Post War Glamour Girls for lifting another single from their stunning debut album, released a mere six months ago. But that’s not their style. Album number two’s already in the pipeline, but this is a standalone release, and what the two tracks demonstrate is just how rapidly the band are evolving.
Against a thick bassline with real swing, James Smith spits a sinister narrative on ‘Gustave’. The delicate post-rock tinged breakdowns echo ‘Sestra’, the monumental opener of the aforementioned debut album, but then the bands steers in a very different direction.
The lumbering ‘Lolong’ is unusual in every respect and definitely marks a departure for the band. The vocals are way off in the distance and Blacklisters’ Billy Mason-Wood brings additional turbulence to the disturbing noise. The strolling bass dominates and the guitars drift like a veil of smoke and suffice it to say it’s big on atmosphere.
