Yet, having become live staples, they work.\u00a0\u2018<em>The Casket<\/em>\u2019 opens slowly and atmospherically, making you wait just a little longer, before finally erupting with their signature sound.<\/p>\n<p>It soon becomes apparent that refinement is what they&#8217;ve been up to.\u00a0With so many different ideas to explore it falls to vocalist Josh Carter to sell them. Luckily, he\u2019s up to the task. Powerful, yet fragile, he flirts with falsetto and holds your attention throughout. Notably on \u2018<em>Magazines<\/em>\u2019, which simply wouldn\u2019t work without his sweeping chorus holding together the riffs, interludes and assorted chaos.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Chapter and Verse - Ink [Official Music Video]\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LpGlpjcx0Ys?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A keystone of the band\u2019s music is Ash Morton\u2019s frantic drumming. His powerful performance provides drive to even the slower songs, making for a far noisier and dynamic sound than Darren Gosling\u2019s guitar style would suggest. Despite this, on \u2018<em>A Devil in Blue<\/em>\u2019 the whole band let loose, creating something as brash as any of the songs they\u2019ve written before. Contrast this with \u2018<em>Eleven Hours in Real Time<\/em>\u2019, which steps in a more thoughtful direction, giving Jonny Hopwood\u2019s bass chance to breathe.<\/p>\n<p>Popular single \u2018<em>Ink<\/em>\u2019 is the song to grab your attention. An arresting pre-chorus plays against your expectations by leading into a chorus which isn\u2019t a soaring sing-along, it\u2019s a repetitive statement, almost as though Carter is making it difficult for himself. Nevertheless, by forcing a hook with his tricksy voice, he makes it shine.<\/p>\n<p>With a scope eclipsing their debut, the carefully constructed \u2018<em>Glow<\/em>\u2019 builds on those foundations, containing enough charm and inspiration to cement <strong>Chapter and Verse<\/strong>\u2019s place as one of alt-rock\u2019s rising stars.<\/p>\n<p>3.5\/5<\/p>\n<p>\u2018<em>Glow<\/em>\u2019 EP by\u00a0<strong>Chapter and Verse\u00a0<\/strong>is released 25th January.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapter and Verse<\/strong> links:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/chapterandverseuk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/chapterandverseuk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/@chapterandver5e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chapterandverseuk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Ian Kenworthy (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WhisperingSand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@WhisperingSand<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Glow&#8217; enough charm and inspiration to cement Chapter and Verse\u2019s place as one of alt-rock\u2019s rising stars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":74637,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,2269],"tags":[3269,16393,15621],"class_list":["post-74636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-album-reviews","category-ep-review","tag-chapter-and-verse","tag-glow-ep","tag-ian-kenworthy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
