The Answer - Solas

[Stefan]

I'm really digging the title track.

 

From FB:

So Folks, we’re excited to announce that we’ve got this brand new record which we've been working on for the last six months and it’s just about ready to go. It's called "Solas" which is the Gaelic (Irish Language) word for “Light” and also the title of the lead track on the album. All I will say about this record is that it's a journey and one we've never really taken before so prepare yourselves for a few surprises. But don't worry they are ridiculously good surprises...well I think so anyway. Oh and we'll be giving you a few tasters of what's to come when we take to the stage this summer!

“Solas” is going to be released on October 14th 2016, has been produced by our RISE producers Andy Bradfield / Avril Macintosh and we’ve had a great time working with them again. Over the next few months we’ll be giving you some exclusive teasers so stay tuned. It's all good people!! Cormac (singer guy)

This band are very hit and miss for me.

Have some great stuff and some average stuff.

These two are pretty average for me.

Maybe if I listen to Solas a few times it will ring in my head, but a bit boring for me.

Probably no need for fans of their earlier stuff to bother with this one if they're expecting more of the same.

 

Here's something I read recently which talks about their change of style.

I'm happy for any band to change their style, as long as it's good

Tracks 10 and 11 were the ones which I took to the most on first listen.
10 reminded me of their earlier song Highway? with the female vocals which is a great song.

I'm thinking this one will be the sort that needs a few listens and I'll give it a go I guess.
