Sitting someplace between excellent melody and crystalline emotive tune smithery, The Visitor Record have quietly carved out an enormous following that sees them in pole place with a clutch of different new younger Manc bands to finish that ‘there are new younger bands in Manchester after Oasis reformed’ bullshit.
The younger band hail from Altrincham and are masters of these quicksilver tunes just like the Stone Roses had been between their punkier early days and that basic debut album. These honey candy with a coronary heart of soul tingling melodic brilliance songs hook you in with their creative brilliance. It’s geographical and its musical as not solely do The Visitor Record reside in their very own Mersey paradise they sound prefer it to.
Their upcoming single ‘Weatherman’ is the band’s finest but and can hasten their inevitable crossover. But once more it drips with melody and dynamics and performs with gentle and shade because it toys with its mysterious and poetically intriguing lyrics that of their ambition and intriguing multi levelled phrase play are a nod to Mancunian poets previous like Morrissey and Marr.
By Christmas they are going to be melting hearts and minds with their intelligent emotional guitar anthems and their already rising military of followers could have grown right into a mass motion of recent youth who need shimmering melodies you’ll be able to dance to and poetry that makes you progress bodily, mentally and spiritually.
I noticed the band play not too long ago and posted this overview…
There’s all the time one thing fairly magical about watching a band who’re about to interrupt out. The Visitor Record are presently rising from below wraps and simply past the ears the music biz however they have already got the excitement, and of their residence metropolis of Manchester they’re already onto the 1000 cap venues. The remainder of the nation is about to find their scrumptious, delicate, melodic windowpane tunes that deal in that beautiful melodic slip and slide of the Stone Roses in between their early rock bit and the debut album. Fittingly, for a south Manchester Sale/Altrincham band hailing from the identical streets because the Roses , they’re immersed on this Mersey Paradise of chiming guitars, beautiful vocals and deceptively gentle, but with an enormous punch, songs that come armed with sugaring-the-pill melodies and already sound like indie classics.
