:: The Drones - The Minotaur

The Drones

The Drones have released the first single off their new album. “The Minotaur” is a digital release and comes off as a brutal and devilish track, complete with the first real contribution of Dan Luscombe, who delivers his brand of a driving guitar sound. In fact, this is the band's first new song for some time. The vocals are more venomous than ever and I don't think it comes across, to my ears, as something palatable and lasting. It seems a pure blast of illogical noise and not what I expected from a band who cite Al Green, Nina Simone and Van Morrison amongst their influences. We'll see what the album brings.
