Album Review: Hope of the States- The Lost Riots

Author: Sara

The Chichester group have sprung from seemingly nowhere and were a hit over the festival season; their sparkling debut is beautiful. Enemies/friends is the first time we hear Herlihy's weary voice. Lines like Keep your friends close/ Your enemies won't matter in the end make everything sound (no pun intended) hopeful. It's a quirky, almost schizophrenic at times, but not the sort of thing you would devote complete attention to. That is on first listening, the second time around it becomes a clever mix of classical and pop/rock instruments with an typically indie voice. And it works. More up-tempo songs dotted around ensure that attention is not lost, Nehemiah is danceable to; The Red The White The Black The Blue should be loved by everyone.

Although it's quite lengthy, it is definitely worth a listen.
