After a spring which saw them tipped by Vice, NME, Clash and This is Fake DIY, Ninetails return with ‘Slept and Did Not Sleep’, the much anticipated follow up to their ‘Ghost Ride the Whip’ EP. Combining hyperrealistic pop with sleek maximalist production, the Liverpool four piece explore euphoria, lamentation and lucidity on this song cycle melodrama. Throughout, moody minimalism and loop-based composition provide an Eno-like back drop for vocals inspired by sunshine pop, r’n’b and dramatic choral harmony.
As premiered on NME.com, here is the first video release by Liverpool quartet Ninetails. The video for their track ‘Maybe We’ is the first hostable illustration from their fantastic new record ‘Slept and Did Not Sleep’, out December the 10th
Watch ‘Maybe We’ here:
Earlier in the year Ninetails were included in NME’s scene report of their home city and a performance at Sound City in May prompted Clash and Vice Magazines to highlight them in their ‘Ones to Watch’ lists. Prior to these accolades, they had shared stages with Alt-J, Errors and Tall Ships
The band has caught the attention of a whole host of national and underground new music teams over the last six months. They have been shortlisted for the GIT award (Scouse Mercury 17th Nov) and are performing at the event this year alongside MOBO winner Esco Williams.
Bella Union’s Simon Raymonde hailed them as “One of (his) bands of the year,” including them on his 2012 shortlist and the band have had continued support on Amazing Radio from Simon, Paul Lester (Guardian) and Indie Champion Nominee Shell Zenner.
The lads play their FIRST EVER LONDON SHOW on the 29th of November at The Bull and Gate. There’s lots of momentum and excitement for these guys, who are planning to release again in February.
