Ahead of their new album Amplify due this coming September, UK band Tess Of The Circle release new single Love Is The Drug That You Crave, and a finer temptation to explore the band’s impending full-length you could not wish for. The song shows just why acclaim and potent attention has been given to the band through its previous releases but with a sound hinting at brand new adventures ahead.
Tess Of The Circle is a British Independent Collective based around the songs and music of singer/songwriter/guitarist Tess Jones and his circle of friends, a group of live and album musicians. The project began in 2013 and quickly released debut album Thorns, a collection of songs from Jones bred from a mix of 70’s electric rock with acoustic guitar riffs and enterprise around biographical lyrics. The release was quickly embraced and praised from fans and media alike, seven of its tracks played on BBC RADIO 2 amongst many national stations, leading to 11 BBC RADIO sessions last year. If the Gavin Monaghan produced Love Is The Drug That You Crave is an example of the wares within Amplify, the band can expect more of the same we suggest upon its release, certainly plenty of close and eager attention.
Love Is The Drug That You Crave is themed by “how we often mistake temporary objects and fixations for love. It suggests that we just see these things for what they are; a wish to feel connected” and straight away the great tones of Jones are gripping ears within swathes of guitar and percussive coaxing. Swiftly though, the song twists into a blazing stroll of fiery rock, that seventies breeding a rampant essence within guitars and keys yet equally there is a feel of varied decades within its spicy grooves and flirtatious hooks. The bass of Ben Drummond is a great shadow and grounding to the roaring flames of guitar from Jones and Lee Clifton, but never dulls their incitement with his string’s resonating throaty tones; it all provoked and stirred up further by the rapier like swings of drummer Paul Stone and the potent vocal incitement of Jones.
Hints of bands like The Cars and The Motors nudge thoughts alongside those of Steve Miller Band and the John Butler Trio, but ultimately the roast of a hot rock ‘n’ roll is something pretty much distinct to Tess Of The Circle.
Love Is The Drug That You Crave is a song which simply rocks the listener with an irresistible swagger and passion to which you can only say roll on Amplify.
