Whether the summer will be a blaze of sun or a flood of rain time will tell over the coming weeks but undoubtedly it will be a feel good moment in time thanks to singles like She from UK indie band The Landed. A melodic romance for the senses and catchy enticing for the body, the song is a lively bubbling of pop rock unafraid to weave in some blues sultriness and melodic guitar jangle amongst its captivating spicing.
The Landed hails from Colchester, two brothers and two friends who since uniting musically and initially playing covers, has persistently developed and honed their songwriting and sound. It was also a beginning allowing the quartet of Paul and David Hale, Dan Currie, and Paul Jannece to learn their stage craft, exploring what made great songs tick and audiences come alive then infusing it into their own emerging imagination and music. Last year saw the release of their self-titled debut EP, a collection of six songs quickly luring attention and acclaim from fans as well as the likes of Tom Robinson at 6 Music and Huw Stephens at Radio 1. Now it is She beginning to stir up eager spotlights upon The Landed, a song which for us is undoubtedly the band’s most vibrant and mouth-watering offering yet.
From its first breath the song is a lively incitement of guitar jangle and warm melodic temptation, and only increasing its coaxing as the excellent vocals and a moodier but still radiant bassline enters the revelry. Crisp beats provide the heartbeat of the song, the bass the drive, and both come wrapped in the creative and adventurous colour of harmonies and guitar. Within its flowing dance of sound and energy there is also a healthy unpredictability at play in the track, showing itself more openly in certain places more than in others but constantly lurking within the smiling character of the song’s anthemic stroll and endeavour.
She is a sparkling and mesmeric seducing of pop/indie rock from a band with the knack of shifting feet as heartily as they ignite ears and imagination. The Landed have certainly grown-up since their early creative days, and indeed since their first EP to give the coming weeks a definite ray of sunshine.
