I wouldn’t mind never having heard of shoegaze and being able to judge whether I liked this song or not. As it is that particular genre stalks my every move, informing whether anything with buried vocals and raging chords is any cop or not. In this case Belfast band Morning Claws have instilled the old with a enlightened contemporary shading. The last we heard it was ‘Slack Magic’ (see vid below) but this the follow-up (from last months ‘Pet Storms, Ancient Clouds’ EP) is like a rabbit from the hat, but more than a small hop in style. What it shows is a willingness to experiment but mostly it proves that Morning Claws can wield a pretty impressive songwriting prowess. KD
