\"\"Following on from news of changing their name from Tiger Please to The People The Poet<\/strong>, the South Wales group have released this four-track EP to show us what is to come later this year with their full-length, ‘The Narrator.’<\/em><\/p>\n

If the bands aim was to get fans hopes us, then they’ve truly accomplished that as ‘Thank You For Today’<\/em> is a short, charming EP that delicately showcases the bands organic sound. ‘Divided Kingdom’<\/em> is a sweet, folky number that serves well as an introduction with\u00a0distinctive\u00a0vocals from Leon Stanford and complimentary strings.<\/p>\n

‘The Trip’<\/em> is a heartwarming tale of someone losing their mother which gently draws you in and leaves you listening\u00a0intensely\u00a0to every word. Whilst ‘Iora’<\/em> is equally as beautiful with twinkling acoustic guitars and soft strings support Stanford’s confident vocals.<\/p>\n

The title track rounds off the EP at a calm tempo with plucky acoustics dominating for the most part before the simple yet memorable line of “hello tomorrow, goodbye yesterday, thank you for present, thank you for today"\u00a0<\/em>is repeated until the end.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a stripped down environment, The People The Poet have shown they are capable of anything; lyrically they are able to capture the listeners attention, whilst musically they’re able to confidently go from a joyful approach (‘Divided Kingdom’<\/em>) to passionate ballads (‘The Trip’<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Although the bar has been set high for ‘The Narrator,’<\/em> its no doubt that the band will fufill their potential, and ‘Thank You For Today’<\/em> is clearly evidence of that happening.<\/p>\n
