Frantic Chant - Let In The Sound

from Dogs Got A Bone - Volume Too by Various

/

about

An extraordinary thing to do when an unsigned band's first single is nearly seven minutes long – even more extraordinary when you find out that it justifies every goddamned second of its existence. “Let In The Sound” spends a lot of its verse-life characterised by two main features – the stunningly wide sweep of the multi-tracked vocals that sound like a cross between Oasis on downers and the epic songs done by Dundee's The Daze when they were around – in fact this seriously takes off where The Daze left it hanging and anyone who worshipped at the altar of The Daze now has a new god. But the effect and reach of those vocals are just epic. The other thing is that stunning psychedelic lead guitar that backs a lot of the verses, as you hear this high-register riff-as-lead chiming out and becoming the main hook around which a substantial part of the song revolves, so much so that you won't get it out of your head for hours after you've heard this. The rhythm section give the song its vital backbone and foundations on which the guitars play. The whole arrangement is mid-paced but strong and quite heavy in its own indie way. The cymbals crash and splash to great effect as the drums shuffle and the bass is more felt than heard. The drawl of the vocals just flows to perfection as they reach up into this magically heady chorus, the backing now absolutely huge and expansive, all the while that amazing guitar riff coming to the surface between verses. Towards the end of the song, the group drops into wordless hook mode as the vocals soar upwards on a wave of chorus while that guitar spirals upwards and finishes the song in a breathtaking display of psychedelic fireworks. It's just one fantastic track and never at any point feels like it's a shade under 7 minutes long, so much so that you just want to play and play and play the thing. Accompanying it is a short instrumental that's driving, powerful, punchy and downright addictive with a melody that cycles round your head as the guitars sizzle and it all powers ahead. But that lead song is something else – you really should be playing this track long, loud and often – I know I will.
