Grammatics - The Vague Archive Single Review

Review for Grammatics single The Vague Archive released through Dance To The Radio.

Never ones to shy away from their own ambitions, the Grammatics pummel our sensibilities with 'The Vague Archive', an operatic, overarching beast of a song. At once melancholy and menacing, the song builds to a dramatic crescendo, Owen's vocals dancing over the expertly executed chiming guitars and frenetic cello. They are Muse-like in their histrionics but it pays off.

The radio-edit is shamefully brief, like showing someone a trailer and telling them they've seen a film. As an added bonus, the single comes with a free pyrotechnic display (imagination required).
