Shimmery!

Five-piece band Passenger hail from Brighton, England and are expert purveyors of melodic, sparkling, poppy folk indie. 'Walk You Home' stays true to this sound, providing the listener with a shimmering slice of cheerful rhythmic drum bears (created by a 25 year old Casio drum machine), jingly-jangly guitars and lively vocals; which all combine to create a piece that belongs best as the soundtrack to a jaunty yet reflective stroll. Sadly there is no real b-side to this promotional copy (only an album version of the track which is eight seconds different to the original) but when one is showered with such frolicksome loveliness it's impossible not to smile and enjoy what has been provided. The band's debut album 'Wicked Man's Rest' is out now and looks set to provide listeners with more buoyant and songful tunes in a similar vein to those from bands such as The Kooks and The View.
