Ventrelles return with their Britpop-infused new single, "It's in the Papers", and the shimmering new offering has plenty to shout about.
... a shimmering, Verve-tinged Britpop gem that proves Manchester has a new melodic powerhouse.
One thing that took me back to the late 90s was the cinematic feeling surrounding the song, and thanks to the strings, I felt like a young kid once more.
It's not quite Oasis but more The Verve with how mellow and shimmering it sounds when it enters your ears for the first time. The sun-soaked guitars are utterly divine, and even on the gloomiest of days I can see this being able to brighten anyone's day.
Following the impressive UK chart success of their previous single, "Emily's Song", this track reinforces Ventrelles' reputation as one of the North West's most consistent and authentic melodic pop-rock outfits - move over Blossoms, we have a new band to fanboy over.
