Gaslight Radio release Guillotine Sun
Monday, July 27, 2009 at 11:09AM We're pleased to announce our first release - the new single from Gaslight Radio.
Currently receiving regular airplay and glowing reviews, the aptly titled "Guillotine Sun" represents this intriguing band at their very best.
Lyrically, it is an intriguing mixture of memory past and observation present, an affecting blend of images both concrete and abstract. It also – in some ways – contains some words of advice to the young.
Musically, the single throws fighting guitars against dream-like synthesizers with a driving beat underneath. Ragged-sounding, yet rhythmically controlled, the song begins in a jangled pop maze before slowly building toward its final desperate and poignant conclusion, wrapped in a fierce wall of sound: “Mama, we’ve been had”.
Released in a limited edition (200 run) green vinyl pressing, the single is also available as a free download.
