If Warpaint  and Radiohead had a love-child then I think it would turn out like “Clear Red Water”. They are a captivating band, whose dreamy and ethereal landscape encapsulates all the elements of innovative, ambient rock. Hailing from Lincoln, “Clear Red Water” is comprised of James Childs on vocals/guitar, Raury Millican on lead guitar, Mark Webster on bass and Jim Fryer on drums/percussions and whose  debut single “Then and Now” has been nominated as my single of the week.

Taken from their upcoming album  “Something From This City”, “Then and Now” is a mesmerising song, whose instrumental interludes create a spacious  and alluring vista. With its tribal beats and eerie drones, “Clear Red Water” delves deep into Celtic waters creating  a vaporous fog for the spectral vocals to dissipate through. It’s beautifully constructed, darkly nocturnal and whose moonlight riffs shimmer against the thrashing waves of guitar gusto. Along with the  drowsy spells of muffled vocals, “Then and Now” creates a hazy hiatus for the falsetto tones to soar and resonate against the haunting flutes.
