To Kill A King- Introducing
Earlier in the year I reviewed Kid iD who released a fantastic E.P. entitled Black Comedy. I am so proud to be in at the start of a new incarnation featuring former members of the now defunct Kid iD. There are shades of the former in parts but To Kill A king have added more strings to their musical bow. This is cross-genre melodrama at it’s best, reminding me of The National in parts and also Divine Comedy. There is a real rich tapestry of sound built around deeply cutting lyrics. The band seem to have found a sound that can bridge a gap between folk and guitar-driven quality indie pop. Just listen to ‘Fictional State’ – the lyrics could have lept from the pen of Alex Turner.
It’s been hard keeping these songs under wraps for the last few weeks, but tonight I finally have been given the go ahead to introduce them. These songs have been constantly with me for the last month. This band are really something special and are one of the bands to watch in 2010. Check the Myspace and if you are in London the band play a FREE gig this Sunday @ The Old Queens Head – Angel Islington N1 8LN.
