Other Lives - Tamer animals (PIAS, single)
Title track from the Oklahoma band's upcoming second album. Has a slow-building, epic quality which will be well familiar to fans of The National . Circling, Reichian piano figures and beautiful, ghostly backing vocals are just some of the joys of it. An anthem for people not comfortable with anthems. *Previous single For 12 is also available to download for free here. For 12 (like this page to download) by Other Lives The astronaut-adrift-in-a-post-nuclear-desert themed video for which is here. Love that string arrangement - it makes me think of telegraph wires. Other Lives play both the Green Man and End of the Road Festivals in the UK this summer
