Until The Ribbon Breaks: Elusive And Cinematic Electronic Pop




Soundcheck show

Summary: Until The Ribbon Breaks has yet to put much music out there, but it's clear even in its few singles and five-song EP, A Taste Of Silver, that the U.K. electronic pop trio has arrived practically fully-formed. There's a dark quality in the music of Until The Ribbon Breaks; it's spare and elusive, yet visually stimulating. You can hear it in songs like "Pressure," which evokes the pulpiness of Tarantino flicks and the eerie cinematic tone of David Lynch films. In fact, singer Peter Lawrie Winfield cut together his own music video for that song using footage from Lynch's 1997 film, Lost Highway. Throughout its songs, the programmed electronic beats are sparse, yet are bass heavy and danceable enough to propel the grinding synths and robotic samples which serve as the bed for singer Winfield's soulful voice. Until The Ribbon Breaks is set to release its full-length album, A Lesson Unlearnt, in January 2015. And after a long tour opening for Lorde, and the latest single "Revolution Indifference" -- a collaboration with Run The Jewels, the hip-hop duo of El-P and Killer Mike -- the young band seems primed to find even greater success. Set List: "Perspective" "Goldfish" "A Taste Of Silver"
