LIGHT UP

There are some enchanting videos available, where you have the possibility to follow them, while they are recording some of this songs in the studio. The title track for example. It's worth it to have a search. There you can get a valuable impression what concentration was necessary, but also how much fun they had in the same way. Very enlightening. SOLISTICE are more or less headed by guitarist Andy Glass. Relatively new to the fold though, since the predecessor album 'Sia', lead singer Jess Holland turns out to be a new face of the band. Light up and get up, the six new songs are provided with much melody and proper dance appeal. The lead and backing female vocal arrangements are a special strength, always delivering a warm and charming atmosphere.

Exquisite songwriting throughout. Every track given here bears a special flair, and let's say tension. What probably may sound rather innocent in the first place evolves to a thriving experience sooner or later. At some point the initiating title track Light Up sees Jenny Newman and Jess Holland taking off the violin respectively acoustic guitar. Now immediately some deep folk feel is coming up. Wongle No. 9 then is showcasing the funky rhythm section comprised of Robin Phillips (bass) and Pete Hemsley (drums). Mount Ephraim initially transfers us to a party taking place in an Irish Pub or so. Delivered by Andy Glass several inspired and crystal clear sounding guitar solos are putting the cherry on the cake. If you will have the possibility to see them live on the stage soon, lucky you!
