Post War Years - The Black Morning (Chess Club)
By: Chris Helsen
Hotly tipped Leamington Spa band Post War Years released their first single on Chess Club records recently, and made this shiny video to go with it.
'Black Morning's piano riff and groove gives a nod to early '90s rave, but the song is far from dayglo. The video, too, is (apologies in advance for this) more new 'grave' than new rave with the band performing 'The Black Morning' 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'-style in front of a back street brick archway, while the timing is skewed to jerky, arrhythmic effect. Gritty.
Take a look at the ace time-bending promo here:
The single is backed with two tracks, 'Latin Holiday' and the especially brilliant 'You And Me Both'.
