Sanzkrit – Futila
Notably bad name aside this could be the year that Monaghan (via SEA) band Sanzkrit make good on the early promise shown on their debut EP of a couple years ago. ‘Futila’ is memorable for a number of reasons, mainly because it sounds raw, like what might have appeared on a first take. It wears its blemishes proudly which ultimately gives the tune an even more heartwarming quality. This could be epic live as the guitars shimmering EITS edge are counterbalanced by Dave Marron’s holler. All told it’s a fine achievement and should mean that ‘After The Wedding’ gets plenty of attention when it drops in September. KD
