Kerrang says: “Not at the sharpest bit of the cutting edge,
but these are fine songs to do yourself a damage to, equal
parts cracked neck and shit-eating grin. Thrash icons Exodus
still pack a decent punch.”
So that’s what Goliath looks like.
And here’s how he sounds.
Aaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggghhhh.
KETCH HARBOUR WOLVES is an emo power pop act from Toronto.
Their new full length AVALON will come out on 10th July.
Ahead of it here’s brand new single EXODUS. The low-spirited song is about Toronto, “a reflection on a city undergoing massive change: influxes and exoduses, appropriations and dispossessions, caused by intentions that range from the benevolent to the unkind. A love letter to a city that is becoming unrecognizable to itself, set against the promise and melancholy of spring” says songwriter Jonathan Tyrrell.
Exodus is a marvelous pop symphony. Heart-rending and emotion-charged. A majestic piece de resistance with the elevating flair of The Killers and the gripping sensitiveness of The National. Nostalgic splendor at its best with a stupendous orchestration, a captivating melodiousness, and a stirring tristesse. Topflight songwriting. Oh, yes, pretty special.
Today 42 years ago, on 3 June 1977 amidst the punk explosion BOB MARLEY and his WAILERS released their ninth studio album, the highly triumphant EXODUS, recorded in London as Marley has left Jamaica after gunmen tried to kill him a year before in his native country. The LP made Marley a global star as it received gold certifications in the US, UK and Canada.
ALL MUSIC wrote: “Thematically, ‘Exodus’ represented a subtle but significant shift for Marley, while he continued to speak out against political corruption and for freedom and equality for Third World people, his lyrics dealt less with specifics and more with generalities and the need for peace and love ‘Exodus’ was recorded at a time when Bob Marley was learning about the unexpected costs of international stardom, but it hadn’t yet sapped his creative strengths, and this is one of the finest albums in his stellar catalog.”
One of his most famous songs ever ‘ONE LOVE/PEOPLE GET READY’ was one of the singles that helped to make EXODUS a huge success. Still a great song, still a great message given the sad reality of our nowadays severely divided world…
