Until the Earth Begins to Part
New 4AD signings Broken Records must have slipped through Fat Cat's A&R net: they fit in perfectly with the current fad they're going through for bombastic Scottish bands like We Were Promised Jetpacks, Frightened Rabbit and The Twilight Sad. Another port of comparison would be My Latest Novel - the Bella Union band (also Scottish) with a love of Arcade Fire, Godspeed You Black Emperor and convoluted song titles. They'd be especially proud of 'If The News makes You Sad, Don't Watch It' and 'Thoughts On A Picture (In A Paper, January 2009)'. With the grandstanding, pomp-tastic arrangements the band are onto a winner, or rather a Win-ner, with vocals that have a tendency to offer an uncanny approximation of the Arcade Fire frontman's impassioned nanny-goat delivery. Clearly though, Broken Records pack a mean sucker punch with their emotive deployment of strings and orchestration, leading some people to suggest that the band are "a good outside bet to win the Mercury Music Prize". Although, on closer inspection those people are the News Of The World. Still, if ambitious, expansive rock music is your bag, you'd be denying yourself a treat if you didn't check out Until The Earth Begins To Part.
