The term "hype" is the name that singular phenomenon of perfect indie-band of strangers, often characterized by tight cigarette pants, black leather jacket and tousled frangettone of order, please come to collect the music critics even before have published their debut album. In most cases, the "next big thing" of the moment is deflated just as quickly as it had swollen to leave to posterity a couple of singles and a little more radio-friendly. Sometimes, however, reveals the gem rough diamond, as in the case of Horrors, initially famous only for the look dismal, but subsequently found to be one of the few certainties of contemporary rock.

I Chapel Club giungono alla pubblicazione di “Palace”, il loro primo album, dopo un anno in cui abbiamo visto il loro nome rimbalzare spesso tra i titoli delle piú celebri riviste musicali d’oltremanica, nonché tra le schermate di webzine e blog piú o meno autorevoli. “Palace” si muove sulla scia dell’ondata di revival post-punk/dark-wave, che ha portato alla nascita negli ultimi anni di tanti piccoli cloni di Joy Division, Bauhaus e via dicendo. Cosa rende allora questo esordio tanto speciale, degno di essere giudicato probabilmente la prima grande uscita del 2011? Molto semplice, la qualità delle canzoni. ( www.rockisland.it )

melodic shining examples of wisdom, not to mention pop, "Palace" is a record in which practically all the songs are potential singles. Inevitably the choice of "Surfacing," which opens just after the introduction of environmental "Depths" insistent rhythm section, chorus curiously citing "Dream a Little Dream of Me" by Mama Cass between majestic synth and guitar shoegaze. Typically, this, that never stays but is a constant undercurrent, to emerge powerfully in "The Shore", halfway between the power of the Ride and Echo and the Bunnymen. There are also pop pieces like "O Maybe I" (with a bass riff that seems to slow down Peter Hook) and "Eastern All The Girls", easily remembered, but never cloying, even after countless plays. In short, there are many memorable insights: "Blind", for example, between the tracks that were circulating before the disc looks like a papal candidate next single, with a riff that we are sure will reap many victims.

who manages to grab the limited edition of "Palace" will find attached a second CD containing four songs released in December as " Wintering EP " : among them" Widows ", who reigns from his eight minutes. A lullaby in which there's verse and chorus structure to thin and lose one another, so as to develop some variations (one of which closes the procession). The guitars are miraculous: that elusive crystals rotate in an ethereal interplay of reflections. Each creates a pattern that is called the other slightly modified, and so on until the tissue is thickened to the point of losing contact with the original matrix (all in the space of only two chords). Add to this the slide guitar crying in the distance, the solo line in the vicinity of the chorus, the joints of the piano, and you'll get a game of which overlaps with the Chapel Club staring reach heights of creativity and complexity. Waiting to see them peeping out for a week in the UK charts and then disappeared, and although some press does not want to expose themselves (it's just NME to waver this time) dare una possibilità al quintetto londinese risulta un obbligo morale, almeno per gli appassionati di certe sonorità.
