The Auteur debut Ep
The Auteur spent the better part of their first year as a band building a fan base, finalising a sound they wanted their music to consist of and demonstrating they had what it takes to be a part of this ever growing music industry. Now, they have the fans behind them and the music to release their debut Ep ‘Nightcap’.
This Brighton four piece certainly have a sunny disposition. This record has five guitar power pop tunes, each very seductive and enticing. ‘Nice Hair, Nice Face’ is upbeat, incredibly bouncy and overwhelmingly chipper, which will without doubt put a smile on your face no matter your mood. ‘Hey! Watch This’ is just as cheerful but embraces a distant electro tinge buried within the effervescent guitars. ‘Hopscotch’ has a faster pace to the lyrics at some points creating a more hard hitting lively beat, something a little punchy. ‘You’re A Friday Night’ propels Alex’s vocals tremendously. Lastly, ‘Welcome Back’ takes on a more emotional touch with its guitars; there is something more yielding, especially as the end approaches. The harmonies add to this effect unbelievably well and could make your heart sink.
The Auteur is a band with four very gifted musicians that create songs you could listen to all day (and night) long. Riddled with guitar hooks, the occasional electro-nudge and the rare softer melodious stroke, ‘Nightcap’ is a must have Ep for anyone with a craving for good guitar pop music.
