Beatitudes - Mary


A new Southampton band to feast upon...

I'm weak at the knees for Beatitudes pensive musings. ‘Mary’, a self-recorded swoon from the Hampshire based band will have the quivering lust-fuelled lovers opening their weary hearts to all passers by via its over-coming melody that calls on Etta James and new Duke and The King material. While high school dances might not always end in romance fuelled exchanges across the virgin punch bowl, this 50s influenced twang of desire will soundtrack the heartache perfectly. And to get over it? Try ‘Seismic Magnitude’, a wobbly indie-pop husk that counteracts its woeful predecessor with glitzy charm and a faster pace to brush away those tears.
