Listen: The Chapman Family – This One's For Love
After dropping a teaser trailer last week Teesside indie five piece The Chapman Family are now streaming their new single, following up 2012′s Cruel Britannia EP.
The upbeat ‘This One’s For Love’ pushes all the right buttons for fans of literate, dramatically-winding and accessibly-complex 21st century guitar pop. The band’s revitalised line up of recent years (they lost two members since debut Burn Your Town) has also marked an evolution of their sound, with a greater musicality and emotive pull replacing the angst and crunchy guitar hooks. Alomar and Fripp‘s fuzzed-over guitar work on Bowie‘s ‘Heroes’ is referenced as much as Bernard Butler’s extended jams on Suede’s Dog Man Star and the whole thing promises something exhilarating from their second album, which we hope will drop sometime this year.
The song’s released officially on 3 June via No More Records. Listen below:
