The Capture Effect - Lies And False Signals by abadgeoffriendship published on 2015-03-09T09:44:06Z The Capture Effect are delighted to reveal the free download and video of 'Lies and False Signals', taken from the release of their debut EP, Frequencies, out on 23rd March 2015 via Free Radio. ‘Lies and False Signals’ sees the band focus on a more personal subject matter as the track follows the end of a broken relationship. Guitars screech and samples soar as the vocals take centre stage here, emotive and passionate, as the band come together as one to produce an impressively big sound. On Frequencies we find the London based four-piece have created an intense style of rock music, spliced with electro-synth sound waves, bridged neatly by a compelling narrative told through provocative lyrical content. Each track tells an individual story as the band touch on myriad of topical subjects, both unique to the individual and to society as a whole. This is no more apparent than on the opening track ‘SKYwave’ which charts the phone hacking scandal of 2011. With sampled news reports combined with up tempo fuzzy synth to transcend breakneck drumbeats and affected vocals, you really get the sense of a band who are confident in their ability to create challenging alternative music with a politically charged edge. Featuring Iain Littlemore (guitar, vocals), Adam Parr (guitar, keyboard, backing vocals), Andy Malliff (bass, samples, backing vocals), and Stuart Roberts (drums), the band formed in summer 2014 after an extensive writing period together. Inspired by a shared love of Nirvana, Bloc Party, Biffy Clyro, The Clash and all things David Fincher, The Capture Effect set about writing music that built upon these influences while maintaining a sound very much their own. Indeed their name and the idea of incorporating news reports and samples in their songs came about after an amp picked up a live radio broadcast during rehearsal. The phenomenon is known as ‘The Capture Effect’ and the rest, as they say, is history. Frequencies is released on 23rd March 2015 via Free Radio. Genre Alternative
