Round the hecklerspray bedsit, there are plenty of things we like to indulge in when we're not writing childish jokes. Amongst watching The Jeremy Kyle show to make ourselves feel better about life in general, we also like listening to music, or as we call it. ?An audio recording combined of multiple instruments to form a collective sound.? And as it stands the entire country is also purchasing more music than ever!
But why?s that? Well dear reader, it seems that the Brit Awards has given certain artists a mini explosion in sales. Most notably is Adele and the flimsy folk act Mumford and Sons. Both acts are subsequently dominating the charts in the UK and America.
Because we like to be different, like a child who demands the crusts to be taken off their sandwich, we want to hear music that isn't popularised through an awards ceremony. This is where Saint Saviour arrives. Literally saving us from overkill of popularised artists.
Don't worry; we aren't going to go on a merry journey where we go on a pretentious musical romp, only recommending bands that play in venues with a capacity of fifty and release albums on a run of seventeen copies.
Our stupid misguided aim is to give exposure to an artist who's doing amazing things but quite at the level of popularity afforded to bands with much wealthier bankrollers behind them.
Once more people listen to Saint Saviour, we think She'll be propelled to much greater things.
Saint Saviour isn't yet another act jumping on the dubstep bandwagon or aping the latest ukulele playing singer songwriter. Upon first listen to Saint Saviour’s tracks, there’s undeniable echoes of Kate Bush. This is a likeness that may well haunt her for some years, but to be perfectly honest, who wouldn’t want to be compared to one of the best and most innovative songwriters the world ever produced?
There’s also an electronic edge. Some tracks allow a flickering beat to gently seep from the speakers, working between multiple synths to take ownership of your ears. Once the track kicks in, the music becomes second best to the vocals of Saint Saviour.
Oddly, she wouldn't sound out of place in a choir, but instead of being all angelic and perfect, it's more a case of mixing things up to create a raw and emotive vocal.
One of the main reasons why Saint Saviour has gone down a storm with us, is that we can genuinely imagine her getting really involved in to the process of music making. A lot of the time, a female vocal is used over a bland dance, most of the resulting in something that sounds like it was a rush half arsed job with no fuss about the end product sounding rubbish.
Each track from her Anatomy EP could be released as a single; it's all killer and no filler.
Hurricanes is a slow building moody ballad that genuinely sounds like some sort of musical outlet to bellow out issues that have been brewing up inside of Saint Saviour. But instead of a four minute shout fest, an empathetic number has been beautifully crafted, no doubt striking a chord with people who listen to its magnificence.
Get on the Saint Saviour wagon. You’ll be able to say you were into it before she was famous without being a massive liar.
Definitely one to keep an eye on.
