Music News - The Solomon Cole Band Return With 'Pocket Of Stones'
29 May 2019 - 0 Comments
With the release of their 2016 debut album Bruises receiving rave reviews (one of the years best releases by Mike Alexander Sunday Times) and reaching No. 19 on the NZ Local album charts, and number 11 on the Independent NZ Music Albums, and nominated for best debut album in 2016 for The Taite Music Prize, The Solomon Cole Band have gathered a blues rock'n'roll momentum.
These days however, the quartet are intent on creating a more honed and organic, haunting blues-based sound that pivots on the songwriting partnership of vocalist Ely Xir and Solomon Cole. A richer palette that moves the band away from the rock sty-lings of the debut, toward a more varied approach instrument-wise. A deeper sense of roots based songs that capture the essence of traditional meets modern, wrapped up in vocal driven malady and dark tales.
For NZ Music month they are releasing a little "taster" in the form of Pocket Of Stones. The band will exist between NZ shores and European dates from July onwards as Solomon Cole and vocalist Ely Xir complete a series of dates in France before returning to NZ to finish the album entitled A Little South Of Heaven.
Outside of the band, the pair have recorded their own alt-blues record entitled We Come To Do The Devils Work for release mid 2019 also.
