THE EARLIES
THE ENEMY CHORUS
GRONLAND/679

The Earlies are a band that use so many different styles and ways of thinking that they can cater for many a mood. Sometimes they’re just on another frequency altogether, whether wrapped up in progressive rock harmonising (‘Burn The Liars’) or belting out a big saxophone-led number (‘Foundation And Earth’). They use intriguing instrumental effects, at times strongly rhythmic with electronica round the edges, and they’ve somehow brought all these elements together to make a coherent forty minute record. Fascinating stuff – and repeated listenings are all the more rewarding.
