“Soaring, epic tunes. One to watch out for!” XFM
“Utterly glorious throughout. Listen to it. Wallow in it. Bathe in it… This is gorgeous stuff.” BBC Introducing
“A band that should definitely be heard!” Kerrang!
"Powerful, melodic soundscapes. Promising stuff..." - Total Guitar magazine (#6 on the on the TG top downloads chart)
Building on the successful release of their critically acclaimed ‘Departure EP’, Kent-based alt-rock band Motion Picture Soundtrack launch into 2010 with their huge second single ‘Glass Figures’ though Endgame Records.
Produced by Paul Schroeder (The Stone Roses, The Verve), Cenzo Townshend (Editors, Bloc Party, Klaxons) and Bob Ludwig (RATM, Radiohead, Tool...) ‘Glass Figures’ precedes the release of their debut album ‘The Shapes We Fear Are Of Our Own’ (1st March) with a thunderous, engaging, Jeff Buckley/Editors-esque crossover that comes at you ‘like a shower of knives’.
The material, slightly darker and heavier than their previous release ‘Departure’ sees Motion Picture Soundtrack once again assert themselves as not only masters of the crescendo but excellent at uniting thoughtful tender moments with out and out crushing rock. The manifesto is simple - to create music to move the listener. It’s intricate - but under the bands complete control - and made to seem effortless.

2010 sees the band fulfilling the promise of that first XFM review. The sonic swirling of their sound draws a definitive line between the patient, brooding and stylistic MPS - a band with real staying power - and the countless fly by night acts that clog up much of the community. With people across the UK taking a deeper interest in their work and an ever-increasing number of fans discovering the power of the live show, they are truly a band to connect with. The coming year could well be theirs.
