Spylab
- featuring Sophie Bancroft
As I popped in the new disk by our Glasgow friends Kenny & Jon
best known as Spylab I didn't know what to expect. It started out
as your typical triphop female vocals, Portishead clones. Yet the
more you listen man does this suck you in with creativity. With its
key influences to Massive Attack you'll hear how they stand out on
their own. Key tracks like: In the Shade, Kabelski, The Uninvited
(Scene 2), to Breathe Easy are works of art. Just when you think they
cant out do themselves Pursuit (Scene 3) continues to let you flow
with your journey. They are able to capture both darkness and beauty
layered with clever beats. This is definitely worth checking out for
fans ranging from The Cocteau Twins, Massive Attack, Hooverphonic
to Lamb. Sophie Bancroft's voice will send shivers of sensuality up
your spine.... Stuart Wall/Massive Magazine
