Trail is a UK band with some killer pop chops. "Killing Sun" is a song about vampires. Not the spakly-in-the-sun kind; the killed-by-the-sun kind. It's not a song trying to hop on the vampire bandwagon (vampwagon? bandcoffin? glitterati?); its only obliquely about vampires, and actually insprired by the morning after a heavy night of - shall we say? - indulgence. My wife and I independently arrived at the same word to describe our first impression of the song: "Muse-ish." It's simultaneously dark and poppy, with a similar sort of serious-as-a-kitten-on-the-freeway rock attitude.
The lyrics are skillfully and powerfully delivered. The song structure is tight, with a great solo and a rocking chorus. Listen to it here, then head to killingsun.com, and Tweet or Facebook Like it, as all the kids seem to be doing these days, and get yourself a free download.
Trail's debut album To the Rest of the World is out now, available at many fine retailers, and their Myspace is chock ful of other fun stuff to fill your day. Enjoy!
