Revere - The Escape Artist

With a full-length version of this single coming in at just over six minutes, Revere are theatrical to say the least. Drawing comparisons to Sigur Ros and encapsulating aspects of Arcade Fire, this track from the London-based collective is huge: slow-building to an orchestral burst and a powerfully melodic payoff. At points understated and a little post-rock, these elements are counter-weighted by sinister vocals and accompanying harmonies. This is a thoughtful, at times epic offering which leaves the impression that the only way to experience it properly would be to witness it live. [Lauren Mayberry]
