State Of Play

State Of Play

Switching seamlessly from slow syncopated grooves to bombastic assaults of sound, showcasing a range of diverse musical elements that, against all odds, find themselves collating into an utterly unique signature sound. For most groups, such eclecticism could only be the result of self-conscious experimentation with the unfamiliar - an attempt at some sort of novelty. For State of Play it’s the exact opposite. Each of band’s seven members, all of whom have vastly different musical backgrounds, simply find ways of making the styles they’re already comfortable with serve their songs. They don’t need to branch out since they’re already bringing so much together. As a result the music they create, far from being some kind of esoteric fusion, is not only coherent, but endlessly accessible.
