Motion Picture Soundtrack – Glass Figures

• 17th Feb 2010

It’s almost as though Kent’s Motion Picture Soundtrack have only just discovered that Stephen Fry isn’t as much of a know-it-all, as he appears to be on QI. Or they have heard a revelation of a similar nature. In the time between the release of their spirited and universally appealing debut EP and this bleak, achingly delivered 2nd single, ‘Glass Figures’.

Shades of The Morning After Girls, Placebo and the atmospheric implants of The Sonic Youth, merge together to produce an offering of desperation and soul searching.

Motion Picture Soundtrack seem to be making it a mission to highlight tenderness by showing that they can depart from it or stretch it out if need be, it has been a successful strategy for numerous outfits over the years.
