Lurin - From The Morning After EP

Steel Hall Productions (AKA B-Burg of Livesciences) offers a pleasingly laid-back take on Edinburgh live favourites Lurin. Spin is mellow gringo-funk, Broken Walls has some Dylan-esque harmonica looping around the female vocal, Chameleon veers off into stranger territory with some nice cascading guitar lines and a driving bassline; as close as Lurin get to really rocking out. Throughout, the interplay between the female vocalist and the half-whispered bass of songwriter Leemo holds your attention. Buy a copy from their MySpace, and save it for the first sunny days of spring. [Bram Gieben]
