Union Sound Set

"Start/Stop (has) a real punch. The best tracks, such as ‘My Current State’ and ‘Answers’, shimmer and shudder with repressed emotion, alongside the sheets of carefully crafted guitar noise" – Rocksound

Following the massive critical acclaim for debut album Start/Stop, and a significant amount of airplay, including Fearne Cotton's show on BBC Radio 1 and Xfm's drivetime show with Ian Camfield, Union Sound Set returned with the second single from their album to much applause.

Title track, Cause & Resolve, had all the makings of an indie dance floor anthem. It combined a strong pulsing rhythm section with reverb soaked guitars, creating a haunting melody beautifully juxtaposed by Edd Simpson's earthy, at times angelic, singing style. The song builds up to a chorus that's so explosive you just can't help throwing your hands in the air.

“A belter of a record…it will be a shock if Union Sound Set don't set the indie world on fire"

"I Know", the single's b-side, could very well have stood alone as its own single. A strong backbone of harmonious vocals, guitar and bass leading up to a dirty, overdriven instrumental freak out allowed Union Sound Set to really show off their technical capabilities as musicians.

A strong accompaniment to an impressive debut album.
