This is
a great follow up to their recent album and EP (that I previously reviewed for
Scootering Magazine) and continues their fine vein of form.
Opening
with a few notes that hint at a version of The Eyes, ‘When The Night Falls’,
they launch into ‘Dripping Time’ which is a great piece of Mod pop, very radio
friendly, and with a vocal that reminds me of Mick Walker of The Circles in
full flow. A great start to the EP.
Track 2
is ‘Don’t Go Baby’ which is like Revolver era Beatles and Sound Affects Jam
(yes, there’s even a hint of ‘Taxman’ and, of course, ‘Start’, in the bass
line) – this is a very catchy song and possibly my favourite of the four songs
included here (but only after the results of a photo finish).
Next up
is the short but sweet song, ‘The Poet’, which is drenched in 60s beat
histrionics and even a taste of Del Shannon-esque organ towards the end, but
fuzzed-up to remove some of the sugary coating.
The EP
closes with the Motown/Northern Soul under-current of ‘One More Chance’ with
some tasty guitar work; another great song.
The Ace
have, with ‘Sonic Snapshots’, released a really good EP that once again demonstrates
their great musicianship, song-writing skills and diversity of music within
their sonic soundscape that you really do need to listen to. They describe
themselves as one of the leading bands in the North of England – on this form,
they are certainly contenders as one of the leading lights across the UK scene.
