Edinburgh five-piece Letters are causing quite a stir with their cello-infused pop/rock.
The band released their first double-sided free single Grand National / Pipe Dreams earlier in the year to great acclaim from media and blogs – and the band are to follow it up with the release of “Flash!Lights” as a free download on July 4th.
The band comments on the track: “Flash! Lights', to paraphrase one of the lyrics in the song, is about feeling dwarfed by the possibilities of time and the panic induced by fear of under achievement. It's about trying to let go of your past and your vices in order that you embrace the things that truly inspire you and ultimately drive you forward, all the while recognising the complete hopelessness that neither of these aforementioned things can exist without the other.
“We wanted to write a song that put the fear of God in us, something that can be as scary as the subject matter and I think we've managed to achieve that.”
To celebrate the release, the band are to play a show at Henry's Cellar Bar, Edinburgh on July 7th. More information can be found by following this link.
