Note: Now Defunct
As described by: exitfare.blogspot.com/
Recently, I came across yet another Leeds band that totally blew me out of the water—Mother Vulpine. Immediately after hearing the thunderous opening chords of “We’ll Be Detectives,” I knew I’d be a fan. The heady vocals and softer, almost ghost-like back-up vocal counterpoint really drive the song forward though the jumpy guitar licks and energetic drumming certainly help. They remind me of early Muse (before they turned into sci-fi nerds obsessed with the apocalypse) or Editors (if Kele Okereke from Bloc Party was singing), which really are clearly compliments of the highest order.
The real question I want to pose to readers is who is Mother Vulpine? Do they have a record out (or plans for one)? Are they really siblings? What are their thoughts on global warming? I scoured the internet trying to find out more about this incredibly powerful young group, but frankly I couldn’t find much of anything. The band doesn’t have an official website and only provides scant information on their Myspace. I know that their songs have been listened to 46 times by Last.Fm users and that their drummer has a personal blogspot where he discusses his artwork, but that’s about it. I’d love to find out more, so leave your show reviews and booze fueled sex antecdotes in the comments.| |
