Priest

Californian pop duo Priest released their debut EP, ‘Samurai’, last year under the more Googlable but harder to say moniker X Priest X. Their name now streamlined down to just the surname of vocalist Madeline Priest, they have just returned with ‘The Game’, the first single from their debut album, which is due out on 5 May.

Released by Swedish label Emotions, ‘The Game’ distracts you with a simple, sparsely constructed song up front, while sending in dense layers of guitar, synth and backing vocals to creep up behind you and slowly envelop you in a warm cocoon. It’s basically the sonic version of an alien abduction, except no one does any experiments on you and no cows have to die.
