CMU Approved
Approved: Nadine Shah – Aching Bones
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 25 September 2012
Driven by a bassline that sounds like that of Massive Attack’s ‘Angel’ (if Massive Attack were Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds) the title track of Nadine Shah’s ‘Aching Bones’ EP grabs your attention from the start with the tense, percussive clang of a muted cymbal. It’s a dark, slow-marching track that presents unrequited love as something sinister, perhaps even dangerous.
Shah’s voice, both in tone and the way she approaches melody, mark her out as someone distinctive and to very much keep an eye on. The EP is out via Label Fandango on 19 Nov, and you can listen to ‘Aching Bones’ here now:
