The drums draw you in instantly. “Backwards,” the most recent single from Leeds band Eades’ new album Ultimate Sirens Name, begins with a skittering backbeat that retains the track feeling brisk and full of life all all through its 4 minutes. It turns into the inspiration for a really British type of pop-rock track that seems like a contemporary spin on that post-Britpop, post-OK Pc class of bands circa Y2K — your Doves, Travis, Coldplay lot — however possibly there’s some precise Britpop in there too? Both method, although I wouldn’t describe it as retro, there’s a traditional high quality to it, particularly when that jaunty piano enters into the dreamy finale. “Standing on ice/ Bending over backwards/ I’m any person else/ Each night time/ Ready on my final phrases,” Tom O’Reilly sings on the refrain.
O’Reilly explains:
“Backwards” is about altering your self for folks you may not even like, strolling on egg shells round those that have a darkness to them. It started as a type of 90s impressed wire rip off, which we did all love dearly, however we later determined to disassemble and rebuild it as one thing far more genuine to our present influences and the place we’re at as a band.
