The Pierces – ’Glorious’

This song is a follow up to the band’s Top Ten iTunes hit ‘You’ll Be Mine’. At first I just thought here’s another commercial juggernaut in equal measure, soulless and musician free, but hang on a minute I think I would be wrong, For starters there is an overall acoustic feel, with some nifty arrangement,  not even an anal attempt to start me thinking of beats per minute. What’s that?…real harmonies – it’s vocal witchcraft I tell thee; Then it hits you, this song, with a little swagger, will probably be the soundtrack in your local cafe, on a few thousand peoples laptops and stereos –  that is no bad thing.

Their is an album is out now entitled ‘You & I’, produced by Coldplay’s Guy Berryman it suggest further investigation on the strength of these first two releases. 7/10
