Reverend And The Makers are a part of today’s New Music Friday releases – stream ‘Heatwave In The Cold North’ right here.
Reverend And The Makers have already been out on the road playing tracks from their seventh studio album, and Live4ever caught the recent tour in Bristol a little earlier this year:
“Shortly afterwards McClure shrewdly gauges the capacity for crowd interaction by dividing them for some ‘nah-nah-nahs’ on the appropriately sun-kissed 18-30 – not that much prompting is required because a) it’s Friday night and b) the love Reverend And The Makers get from their audience is unconditional,” our review reads.
Even so, no chances are taken, with the backbone of the set made up of tracks from the debut garnished with choice career cuts and a sprinkling of new material: the title-track is Marvin Gaye-inspired soul while High (a self-professed B-side, the subject of which is unambiguous) is knowingly slovenly.
“I Hate It When You Lie is a slice of Dre-infused hip-hop, while Problems features an appearance by Ramona Flowers’ Steve Bird, whom McClure gives immense credit for aiding with the composition.”
