Capital (LP)

Playing things safe has never been The Drink's philosophy. Throughout the trio's evolution, their off-kilter guitar pop melodies and lyrical curiosities have grasped attention - and on their brand new album 'Capital', they're pushing the boundaries even further.

Through skewed time signatures and rapid key changes, whether drawing influences from krautrock (see the hypnotic 'Like A River' and 'No Memory's motorik drones) to girl group harmonics (Dearbhla's cherubic falsetto on 'Roller' and 'I'll Never Make You Cry'), the trio develop their impressive sound, giving way to a natural confidence and chemistry that has found its way into Capital's song-writing. 'Potter's Grave', in particular, highlights the album's wonderfully strange collision between beautiful fragments of melody and lyrical imagery.

Mixed and mastered by Tobias Warwick Jones, 'Capital' exhibits the band's appreciation of artists from The Modern Lovers to Rory Gallagher.
