Seeking: Review

Style: Alt-Pop, Prog-Rock

There’s a ton of fun to be had with British band Living in Shadows. From the swirling, ‘80s-esque synth to the biting guitar and Zoe Gilby thought-provoking vocals, each song teases something and then whips you off in another direction.

“Their distinctive sound follows in the tradition of great English alt-pop and progressive rock whilst also reflecting their background in jazz,” they say, which covers the genres. But it’s their ability to hide a melody under a different melody and then unveil it with bluster that is a riot. They’re just full of surprises.
