With
two incredibly successful albums under their belt Submotion Orchestra
bring their latest five track EP to UK independent Circus Records. The
seven-piece group that formed in 2009 have forged a large loyal fan base
with their blend of Electronica, Jazz, Dub and Soul, music that has
been described as ‘stunning’ by The Guardian and ‘seductive’ by The Times.
Following
a chance meeting in London with Circus co-founder Flux Pavilion who
declared his love for the band, SubMo promptly signed to the label
reaffirming the notion that Circus have always sought to release only the highest quality music, regardless of genre. Flux Pavilion says "to release Submo on Circus is amazing, I’ve always been a big fan of their music.”
The new EP ‘1968’ is a masterclass in ethereal, soulful vocals that sit
astride shuffling drums as on ‘Broken World’ or ‘Breathe It In’. Lead
singer Ruby’s voice echoes early pop Janet Jackson on ‘Damn Hot’ whilst
title track ‘1968’ is smooth and subtle: echoing piano keys gliding beneath intricate layers of sound.
Following
debut album ‘Finest Hour’ in 2011 and ‘Fragments’ in 2012, the Leeds
band return with a subtle piece of art in ‘1968’ that weaves its way
into your brain, takes hold and never lets go.
