Astronaut suit on and ready for launch. No interplanetary journey today, this is a mission to make contact with The Vryll Society, the latest big-noise coming from Liverpool, currently orbiting planet earth. Signed to Deltasonic Records, home of The Coral and The Zutons, the label makes for a logical base with its proven record of encouraging melodic, timeless song writing, two qualities you can tick against The Vryll Society, but ‘Course Of The Satellite’ is not simply a retro throwback. Existing in the here and now, the album takes a journey looking down upon the madness unfolding below.
A Psychedelic-rock influence shines throughout The Vryll Society’s debut, yet the LP remains a far more spiritual pursuit than hallucinogenic. Its blend of trip-hop production keeping the mission on track, with ‘A Perfect Rhythm’ and ‘Shadow Of A Wave’ lending well timed engine boosts to the space-drifting notion. With this album The Vryll Society join stars of the classic and modern to create a sign in the night sky that just might point towards a big future.
Now, how do I go to the toilet in this thing?
