Single Review
the Thirst - Sail AwayThe Thirst – Sail Away

A four piece from Brixton, The Thirst are a new weapon in the arsenal of British Music. A pacey tremolo intro leads into the first verse, which is ridiculously rhythmic. It's actually impossible not to twitch or click of anything similar, and if you can't manage it, I'd go to see a doctor.

To look at the group, you'd never guess this was the kind of music they'd create. I was expecting some dirty garage or gangsta beeeatzz but I've been pleasantly surprised. Very pleasantly surprised.

There's a real swingy feel to this primarily indie track, and there isn't a note wrong. Very tight, very good, very impressive. Falling short of three minutes, it leaves you begging for me, and unfortunately the "David E Sugars Morning Jim Remix" can't quite quench the thirst for The Thirst. It's a good remix and everything, but it completely destroys the swing feel that makes the track so excellent.

Apparently they got their record deal on the spot and were the first to be signed to Wooden Records. I'm very interested in listening to more material, these guys have potential, and from what I've heard, wow, really something.

5/5
