If you didn’t know by now then Edinburgh dark cello pop noiseniks Letters are to release their hotly anticipated debut EP ‘Older Motion Pictures’ through God Is In The TV Records (https://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/) on the 19th May . The CD will be available to purchase via GIITTV and their websites and all good digital distributors. They have recently released the video for the title track ‘Older Motion Pictures’ its moodily cut together found film imagery of the band, 50s drive in movies and Scottish scenery suits the brooding cellos and haunting vocals of this sublime track!Watch it below!
It’s the follow up to their recent single ‘The Halfway House’ which achieved airplay on Ally McCrae’s Radio1 Session in Scotland as well as the approval of Artrocker, music industry mailer CMU, Scottish media figures such as Jim Gellatly and Vic Galloway and indie royalty in Frightened Rabbit.
Letters’ succession of single releases have caused a ripple in the blogosphere north and south of the border which have earned them support slots with One Little Indian outfit ‘Wild Palms’ as well as sets at the Rockness and Wickerman Festivals in 2011.
Recorded alongside Stephen Watkins of Edinburgh’s TAPE Studios, ‘Older Motion Pictures’ EP is their strongest, most well rounded four songs to date. From the instrumental rock dexterity of opener ‘Explosions’ with it’s early My Virtiol style dynamism. To the haunting title track ‘Older Motion Pictures’ they possess a sky scraping ambition and a Hope of the States-esque power to move the listener both instrumentally and emotionally. These songs depict Letters’ growing maturity and represent a sonic progression of their throbbing dark cello pop sound.
Letters’ debut EP ‘Older Motion Pictures’ is due for release on the 19th May through God Is In The TV Records will be followed by a select handful of UK and Scottish dates.
