London risers pencil have shared new single ‘The Giant’.
The band are led by Kamran Khan (aka Fake Laugh), a central figure joined by a coterie of musicians who cross between different disciplines. Having played a select batch of festivals across summer, pencil have just signed to Moshi Moshi, and will release their new single through the label’s overhauled singles club.
A remarkable, highly singular piece of music, new song ‘The Giant’ is framed by buzzsaw violin, each note more intense than the last. The central vocal has a real sense of theatre to it, with the band conjuring visions of everyone from Radiohead to Kate Bush, or perhaps aspects of latter Talk Talk.
Mae London risers pencil wedi rhannu sengl newydd ‘The Giant’.
Arweinir y band gan Kamran Khan (aka Fake Laugh), ffigwr canolog ynghyd â choterie o gerddorion sy'n croesi rhwng gwahanol ddisgyblaethau. Ar ôl chwarae swp dethol o wyliau dros yr haf, mae pensil newydd arwyddo i Moshi Moshi, a byddant yn rhyddhau eu sengl newydd trwy glwb senglau'r label sydd wedi'i hailwampio.
Darn o gerddoriaeth hynod, hynod unigol, cân newydd ‘The Giant’ wedi’i fframio gan ffidil buzzsow, pob nodyn yn ddwysach na’r olaf. Mae gan y lleisydd canolog ymdeimlad gwirioneddol o theatr iddo, gyda'r band yn conjsur gweledigaethau o bawb o Radiohead i Kate Bush, neu efallai agweddau o Talk Talk olaf.
