Aligning the snarl of their previous single with a more uplifting parade of inescapable hooks and spicy grooves, indie rockers Forever Cult unleash new single Antonio Banderas, a release more than confirming what its impressive predecessor suggested, that they are one of the UK’s exciting new treats.
Hailing from Leeds, the 2012 formed Forever Cult has emerged as one of the more talked about prospects with their fiery mix of alternative rock and indie pop with other rich textures. Their sound is a blend of transfixing flavours which easily sparked acclaim and appetite through previous single Winter’s Glow and a live presence which has seen the band play both Leeds and Reading Festival, Tramlines, Live at Leeds, Long Division as well as share stages with the likes of Demob Happy, JAWS, Allusondrugs, Eagulls, Brawlers, Spring King, and DZ Deathrays. With one UK tour under their belts, the trio of Kieran Clarke, Aaron Snowdon, and Alex Greaves are setting out on a second this July with Antonio Banderas the thoroughly captivating teaser.
The song opens on a scrub of guitar and the grizzly tone of the vocals, both aspects inescapably lined with an Arctic Monkeys twang which only adds to their appeal and coaxing. Swiftly rhythms are adding their invitation too, darker shadows of bass wantonly flirting with those feisty beats with an energy and swagger which only sparks the same in the varied vocals and the web of hooks and sonic tempting cast from the guitars. It is an irresistible mix increasing in seduction as effects clad voices at times and a psych rock breath washes over song and senses. Fair to say the contagion at large is bewitching, enticing feet and emotions to dance with the imagination and virulent enterprise of the song.
Whereas Winter’s Glow was a darker, grouchier prowl of a proposal, Antonio Banderas is a tenaciously livelier escapade, though still carrying intriguing shadows woven into one feisty stomp of a persuasion. The only thing wrong with the single is its short length; just as you are getting up a head of steam to indulge in its majesty, the two and half minutes are over, leaving a hunger for more and impatient anticipation for something even more substantial, like an album. Thanks to Antonio Banderas though, the summer just got steamier.
