By The Sea // I See A Crystal Sky
It’s perhaps no surprise then that there’s something triumphant about ‘I See A Crystal Sky’. There’s a rich seam of euphoria running through the track from the noodling hook of a riff that opens it, right through to the yawning, almost hymn-like bass, and the swelling of a synth that punctuates front-man Liam Power’s declaration that “I see a crystal sky/and hear the echo die.” Their debut album was one of our favourites of 2012 (and surely one of the year’s most criminally under-appreciated), but ‘I See A Crystal Sky’ suggests that they’ve wrapped their surreal melodies around something sparser on their coming second LP, Endless Days, Crystal Sky – which is out August 18th. Consider us majorly excited after this introduction. |
