The Cinematics - A Strange Education

Postby DJ Lestat » Tue Jan 30, 2007 8:31 am

I found this upcoming album(Feb 7th) in a newsgroup after another member here recommended the track "Break". I have to say I have listened to atleat 20 times in the past week, its a great album by some very young lads out of Glaskow. It has alot of familiar sounds to it, I can hear influences of The Killers(think Hot Fuss), Snow Patrol, Catherine Wheel(think Chrome) and The Bolshoi. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking new tunes. www.thecinematicsmusic.com

I can finally say I've given it a few listens and really really like it. Really bummed to have missed them at SXSW. Here's a good review:

http://thetripwire.com/reviews/2007/4/3 ... -education

"The Cinematics hail from The Highlands of Scotland, a place fitting for the inspiration it provides to these boys. Dark, haunting, melodic, (and for better or for worse) cinematic tunes are churned out by the four piece on their TVT debut, A Strange Education. While contemporary bands like Editors and Interpol are an easy comparison, upon a closer listen, groups like The Smiths, Echo & The Bunnymen and The Cure come to mind..."
