Colchester's Ordinary Noise unveil their new single 'You Are Here'
Indie | Sunday 28th June 2015 | Lilly
It is a rarity to find such a fresh band with such obvious authenticity and broad, retrospective lyrics. If you need any more convincing of the upcoming talent that is Ordinary Noise, they have supported anti-folk cult heroes Jeffrey Lewis and The Jrams. Now they are ready to release ‘You Are Here’, the first track to be taken from the upcoming Ordinary Noise EP. Summoning influence from Bob Dylan and Jeffrey Lewis, the EP will showcase the boys’ undeniable grasp on mood and melody.
Lou Terry (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar), Ross Connell (electric guitar), Tim Tokley (bass, guitar) and Jonny Poole (saxophone, drums) first met whilst in different strands of education and have been together ever since. Little over two years ago, Ordinary Noise were playing venues in their hometown of Colchester. Today they’re being played on Jarvis Cocker's Sunday Service on BBC Radio 6 and BBC Introducing.
The verses on 'You Are Here' remain expertly restrained before allowing the chorus to rupture into something distinctly powerful that has the hallmarks of the early folk pioneers. The track invites you on a journey of ambling guitars, rolling drums and the some of the most distinct vocals you’ll hear in 2015. Alt-J elegance, Jake Bugg meets Jack Steadman warbles and an instrumental build up that screams Stone Roses make up the key components. Despite their years, there’s a lyrical and musical maturity to it that is beyond impressive and demands to be heard.
'You Are Here' is the result of intense focus and natural musical ability that reaches to the heart of their artistic expression. A force to be reckoned with, Ordinary Noise stand boldly apart from other offerings of its kind.
