Star Chamber
Part One EP
Wednesday 5th of September 2007
Splattering across your audio-windscreen like the Jeff Goldblum fly-hybrid of The Upper Room and The Feeling, Star Chamber have an indie head combined with a 70's-throwback body.
Far from being an abhoration though, 'Landmarks' is a thing of beauty with 16 beat drums and a shimmer of gentle guitars that build up to a Captain-esque chorus.
'Relationship Wreck' is another great track with a bit of stomp, plenty of harmonies and nice contrast between the verse, chorus and quiet-bit-in-the-middle.
Star Chamber sound like a Brighton band, not at all like a band located along the Thames. They have a great refreshing sound that hints at more open (and mainly cleaner) waters!
