Plainview are an alternative rock-folk, post-punk and alt-country infused band from Lancaster whose jangly tinkering,semi- shoegazing and reverberating riffs makes them a well rounded and accomplished band. With Darren Leadsom on vocals/guitar, Marc Neilis on bass/vocals and Tim Lowe on drums,  Plainview are a versatile band, whose spectrum of riffs, created the perfect template for an array of emotions. Lyrically pensive, and romantically coated, Plainview evoke wistful sentiments, whilst maintaining  an upbeat and infectious demeanor. With his melancholic vocals Leadsom is across between Roddy Frame and Neil Young, whose deepest emotions, filter through his delicate tones.  Taken from their recent EP “Years From Now”, “Warmth of the Sun” has been selected my single of the week. Playing at the “Night and Day Cafe”, Manchester on  Friday 23rd August, Plainview are a band which are going from strength to strength and one really worth checking out.

With its opening razor sharp and reverberating riffs, “Warmth of the Sun”, shakes and tremor with a dramatic  darkness likened to Radiohead and My Bloody Valentine. It’s a brilliant song, whose pounding beats pulsate the song towards its shoegazing arena. With its mesh of fuzzy and weighty riffs, “Warmth of the Sun”, twist and rotate against the aloof vocals. Lyrically obscure, “Warmth of the Sun” resides  in misty cloud, whilst allowing its gamma rays to filter through.   Along with its sunken backing vocals, “Warmth of the Sun”, emits a cool intensity that streams through the singular riffs, creating a magnetic wave of sounds.

Plainview will be playing gigs at:

23rd August  – Night and Day Cafe, Manchester

3rd October – The Bobbin, Lancaster

18th October – Spotlight, Lancaster (acoustic)

19 October – Oxjam Lancaster
