Turtle Giant
Feel to Believe
Wednesday 3rd of March 2010
Turtle Giant have an indie-band sound that sounds utterly orchestral, with a great wash of guitar, some huge organ tones and a vocal that has the qualities of Brandon Flowers about its assured tones.
'Taking The Heat' is a hazy indie track with lots of promise. The intro is artfully long and sounds great, dropping down gradually towards the first vocal lines. The chorus dramatically presents the poetic lyricism and this track is, all in all, a total winner.
The acoustic-led 'Something That You Need' trundles along with a steady rhythm. The piano blends perfectly into the plucked guitars and it's all very pleasant (although nowhere near as good as the opener).
'Sunlight' may be another gentle tune, but the cheeky beat gives it a real groove and it shows off a really slick and chilled side to this band.
What a good listen this record is.
