Музыка и песни Revival Hour, The / Revival Hour, The на LP

When John-Mark Lapham realised DM Stith's voice was exactly what was needed to finish a piece of music he'd been working on, neither knew the collaboration would work so well that they'd go on to strike up a partnership, name it The Revival Hour after a groundbreaking American evangelist radio show of the 1930s. Scorpio Little Devil, the new album is a realization of all the potential seen on the EP. Exploring all the elements that made the EP stand out and pushing the electronic, experimental and pop sides even further, it is sure to make a mark in early 2013. In "Hold Back" they have a bona-fide classic single that leaves you breathless with love and admiration - a song you feel you already know on first listen. The Revival Hour's brilliance isn't so surprising when you know the duo's previous form. Texas-born Lapham was the sounds-and-samples component of Manchester-based The Earlies, purveyors of a kaleidoscopic brand of folk-tronica explored over two celebrated albums. The Buffalo-born Stith, meanwhile, released an equally revered debut album, Heavy Ghost, in 2009 on Sufjan Steven's Asthmatic Kitty label, a record admired by the likes of Bat For Lashes and Grizzly Bear. The Revival Hour is the sound of adventurism; of deep, historical musical connections; of falling in and out of love; of bravery. Courageous in scope and spectacle they share an affinity with PJ Harvey, Dusty Springfield, The Knife, Antony Hegarty, Robert Wyatt and Portishead - artists they share a compulsion with to create a timeless sound, epic in ambition and sonics.
