"It's a nice cake to eat" - Tom Meighan (Kasabian) "Really rather splendid.. ..really caught my ear." - Melita Dennett (BBC Introducing - South) "I can feel my taste buds being refreshed already. This new track, 'Amber', starts off like Primal Scream, Muse and Kasabian jamming in a basement full of preserved brains and a dodgy electrical connection. A brooding, menacing verse soon gives way to an ominous chorus fuelled by huge organ chops and a pounding, relentless beat. This is marvellously dark, sexy stuff that serial killers all over the land will be downloading to soundtrack their nefarious shenanigans. Imagine the swagger of the Doors, the heart of Nick Cave and the darker moments of Franz Ferdinand's indie pop all sewn together with guitar strings and microphone cable to create some confusingly arousing monster. Picturing that? Good. Enjoy...." -ListenWithMonger "The Amber EP from Light Brigade is a good thing that comes in a very small package indeed. There are just four neatly wrapped songs, but they're certainly little beauties. Then again, little isn't the right word to describe any of these creations at all. Opening track "Amber" immediately transfixes the listener with its intergalactic samples, but then is promptly throttled into an all-encompassing, black hole of funk-drenched electro, layered with dirty guitar riffs. That's a long winded way of saying it; basically, this song is epic. It's a big affair, with lots of mysterious noises and voices which faintly suggest being lost in terrifying blackness forever; yet all buttressed by sassy Brit-boy harmonies, in just the right measure. "Field Theory" turns an unexpected corner, slamming in first with a dirty bass rhythm, which eventually marries with some raw, seductive vocals, sensuously reminiscent of The Cure's Robert Smith. As for "The Horologist", what even is that? Apparently it's a person who makes clocks and or watches, someone "skilled in horology." But in any case, Light Brigade's song of the same name is where they show off yet more of their flexibility and talent, unleashing an indie-rock song that seems quite minimalist compared to the barrage of sound that were the first two tracks. It's dark and brooding, with steady melodies that build slowly to a culmination. With "Meerkat", the EP reaches more traditional indie-rock territory, which seems to have gradually crept up since the opening electro-horror track. This song is polished and tight though -no garagey, "near enough is good enough" approach here. It's slick like The Killers, but Light Brigade are much less commercial than that with their lyric and content choice. They have the same potential to go big though - these will be one to watch. If the mainstream takes a fancy to this band, they seem to have what it would take to put out some very strong material. The Amber EP has a lot going on - it's atmospheric, sexy, there's just enough hooks to be good without being annoying; and it's got damn fine musicianship. Production values are high too, so much so that it's easy to completely forget about them -perfect." - Drunken Werewolf Magazine.
