The Slow Readers Club
Single Release – ‘Sirens’ - 31st October 2011
Video: http://vimeo.com/19784650
Intense, collar tugging urgency is interpreted by the emotions of young lovers, separated by the thin divide of an airport arrivals gate, in a very different way to the stock broker waiting for the bell that closes a dirty day’s trading. Urgency, the sound of sand ebbing through the hour glass to the chaos of an urban rush hour, sums up the music of The Slow Readers Club.
The debut single, Sirens, produced by Kipper, a Grammy and Emmy Award winning producer, will be available online via iTunes on October 31st 2011.
The story of the reunited lovers fills the heart, whilst the money man’s desperation fills only his pockets, but their wide eyed, moist-palmed anticipation unites the two in the same, basic human emotions of greed and need. But, which is which?
The modern world isn’t full of love stories, but nor should we lose all hope, and that understanding is one that the Manchester four-piece grasps all too well.
Love, loss, opportunity and futility sit comfortably side-by-side in The Slow Readers Club’s anthems written with comfortable confidence, relaying with conviction what it feels like to be trapped in the dark corners that inevitably follow the high times. Feelings felt by everyone, however mundane their existence.
Sirens, unites vulnerability and menace in an act of alchemy that combines painful, masculine honesty with sounds of celebration. Frontman Aaron Starkie’s vocal swerves between the call of a rabble-rousing ring master and man possessed, with quite literal, moon-howling frustration. The smooth ascent into a soaring chorus is hit by turbulence as the listener travels with Aaron through verses crafted with near surgical introspection.
“When I was young I always had the best time but now I’m old now I need a lifeline/Maybe, I’m going crazy.”
Aaron steps into the cold spotlight supported by guitarist and vocalist Kurt Starkie, whilst a disciplined rhythm section of drummer Neil Turvin and bassist, James Ryan ensure that this is one place where reliability can be found in an increasingly uncertain global landscape.
In their former incarnation, Omertà, two thirds of The Slow Readers Club line up were loved and lauded by fans and industry figures who saw the same depth in their music as exists in the sounds of Interpol, Nick Cave, Arcade Fire and other contemporaries. Slow Readers Club maintains these irresistible, crowd-pleasing sensibilities whilst nursing tender hearts.
Further information on the band’s releases and live dates will become available throughout the summer, including new pictures/videos; giveaways, gig news, and an exclusive free download of another track which shall be available to fans in November. The band’s debut album is planned to be released in January 2012.
