MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK – GLASS FIGURES: Building on the successful release of their critically acclaimed Departure EP, Kent-based alt-rock band Motion Picture Soundtrack launch into 2010 with their huge second single Glass Figures though Endgame Records. Produced by Paul Schroeder (The Stone Roses, The Verve), Cenzo Townshend (Editors, Bloc Party, Klaxons) and Bob Ludwig (RATM, Radiohead, Tool…) the single precedes the release of their debut album The Shapes We Fear Are Of Our Own (out March 1) with a thunderous, engaging, Jeff Buckley/Editors/Muse-esque crossover that comes at you in pretty quick fashion. The wailing central guitar riff is particularly effective, and very Editors-esque, while the vocals that flit between falsetto and harder rock edge are pure Muse. It’s dark, heavy and accomplished and kind of bodes well for the release of the forthcoming LP. We now wait with anticipation…
