Red Light Company – Meccano

• 17th Aug 2008

London quintet Red Light Company are signed to Lavolta records, the label responsible for Liam Frost and the Slowdown Family, and make the same brand of polyphonic indie-rock as their Mancunian counterparts. Vocalist Richard Frenneaux is supported by a wealth of instrumentation to produce a controlled sound which imbues Red Light Company with a sense of maturity belying their youth.

Within the indie genre, where bands repeatedly get accused of unoriginality or a lack of versatility, Red Light Company manage to produce a sound that is original yet somehow familiar. If they can keep it up then they could well be on to a winner.
