London-based four-piece Longfellow have shared their new sun-kissed single 'Plasticine'. Their sound is influenced by the likes of Coldplay and The Killers with a heavy dose of their own creative vision thrown in for good measure. Longfellow garnered a tonne of radio support from the likes of Huw Stephens, Steve Lemacq and Jo Wiley for their debut single 'Siamese Lover' and with 'Plasticine' the band will be hoping for more of the same.
The track opens with an indie-disco influenced drum groove which is brilliantly accentuated by the gloriously catchy and lush riff played on muted guitar and percussive synths. When introduced, Owen Lloyd's vocal is instantly the centre of attention. His voice is warm and slick and you can really get a sense of Lloyd's knack for writing a superbly catchy lead melody.
In the chorus, more synths are introduced with additional high-pitched backing vocals to give a sense of the stadium rock scale that Longfellow are so clearly searching for. There are some lovely moments here including the cheeky 80s inspired drum fills and sci-fi influenced sound-effects. The track builds to a brilliant climax with different and changing vocal refrains, euphoric synth sounds and thick backing vocals ensuring the band sound as massive as possible.
With 'Plasticine', Longfellow have released a track worthy of any stadium slot or festival main stage. It's a summer tune that has been brilliantly performed, meticulously well written and above all will be loved by many. 'Plasticine' is a great release by a band who are clearly filled with high ambition. It won't be long until those stadiums headline slots come calling.
