“Vibe record of the week” – Clint Boon Show XFM
Acid Jazz Records latest signing, Birmingham quartet The Elements, are releasing their fantastic debut single Caught In A Storm. Coming out on Monday 2nd June 2008, the single will be available on digital download and, for the collectors amongst you, limited shiny 7” black vinyl.
The band, who feature sometime Ocean Colour Scene members Andy Bennett and Tim Jaques, supported The Inspiral Carpets at the Shepherds Bush Empire and have added a whole host of gigs and radio sessions to launch the forthcoming album, titled simply The Elements, due for release in July.
Written at the tail end of 2007, Caught In A Storm is an anthemic guitar belter that’s already a firm favourite at the band’s live shows - a classic mix of fierce guitars, a thunderous rhythm section and sweet vocal harmonies (one of the band’s hallmarks).
This explosive track is complimented by the melodic B-side, Handle On Love. Both songs are penned by Andy Bennett (vocals/guitar) and Lee Burn (vocals/guitar) and the duo are more than ably backed-up by a rhythm section of Tim Jaques (drums) and Dave Casswell (bass), who also contribute to the band’s unique vocal harmonies.
A track as exciting as Caught In A Storm could surely be the spark that lights the touch paper for The Elements in 2008, which promises to be a special year for them.
