Review: Draw Me Stories – Becomes The Hunted/Oars
Rattling percussion rhythms, haunted Veils styled vocals and winding guitars wretch out feeling, bemusement and heart, ‘Becomes The Hunted’. Indie eeriness gives the track a chilling edge, as the rustic Draw Me Stories reel off a good line in meandering bemusement. Before the tempo picks up and the vocals of Carl Hodgetts’, take on a slightly animated feel. This is for the benefit of those who crave a bit of urgency in their indie.
‘Oars’, gives this cosmopolitan outfit a more jangly disco toe, featuring a hypnotic, sliding guitar backdrop that lends a Turin Brakes edge to the second half of this stirring double A side. The vocals linger more, as they deliver thoughtful poetic lyrics. Stirring knocking percussion and slow winding guitar interludes, provides the pause for needed thought between the engaging vocal snippets. Draw Me Stories are on a mission to ensure that serious indie types are not lonely this summer.
