Soulsavers - Revival

A small piece of salvation awaits.

Single Review by Darren Carle | 11 May 2007
Single title: Revival
Artist: Soulsavers
Label: V2
When veteran producer Andrew Weatherall talks about raising his hands to heaven and "crying like a redeemed sinner" to describe a band, you could do worse than to listen up. Religious connotations may seem a tad lazy when it comes to music steeped in blues and church organ, but there's little to doubt the conviction behind such words. Mark Lanegan provides the vocals of a man at the limit of his suffering, looking for redemption in the night. A gospel-backing choir urges him on. Your own personal epiphany may not be guaranteed, but a small piece of salvation awaits. [Darren Carle]
