The album, wonderfully entitled Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free, is out on 11 May 2009 in Europe. BlackPlastic is currently loving 'River' - it's a pondering, whimsical and beautiful song and it sounds like staring out at the starlit night sky with a loved one or a good friend. It's one of those songs that just keeps changing - rather aptly, somewhat like a river it builds and twists. The clarinet accompaniment that comes in about midway through the second minute is good, but the song really takes off mid-way through when it begins to shimmer and the marching band percussion comes in.
A swirling whirlpool of knowing vocals and careful melody - download here (right click, save as).
The album is available to pre-order at Crammed and anyone that pre-orders will get an MP3 download of the album straight away. The band are also touring Europe from May 16, details here.
