escape act (free album of the week)
The first in the series of free EPs and albums put up every Sunday is the debut album of Escape Act "Loosely Based On Fiction". The Belfast band have slowly but surely been turning heads in the blogosphere as well as within mainstream media with a sound that is reminiscent of perhaps Irish Americana (or The Thrills with a bit more bottle and drive).
Loosely Based On Fiction is a great debut album that delivers much and promises even more. There's a couple of radio friendly tracks such as "Cabin Fever" and "God Says" but the true gems are hidden within the album- "Sullied Behave For The Stars" and "Corpses Candle" are standout songs. The lyrics are, well, a little unusual at times- it's difficult to be eloquently disaffected- but when it comes together, it's a hit. Wonderful drumming and ridiculously catchy melodies (don't say I didn't warn you) make Escape Act a promising Northern Irish talent. Recording is underway on a new album and from the material we've heard live, it's clear to see that Chris Heaney and company are not a flash in the pan.
Standout Tracks: Cabin Fever, God Says, Sullied Behave For The Stars
If you like this you'll like: The Jane Bradfords, Panda Kopanda
