Approved: St Spirit – Build A Life
By Aly Barchi | Published on Tuesday 6 September 2011
Sounding fully-formed despite a fledgling discography, south London indie-rock troupe St Spirit deliver their debut single ‘Build A Life’ with all the bold, unabashed melancholia five 19-year olds can muster (which, as it turns out, is quite a lot), anchoring acoustic moments in a tide of tumultuous percussion as helmsman Myles McCabe bawls in a truly heart-wrenching manner.
Pesky as it may be, all that nautical imagery does tie in rather nicely with the song’s accompanying animated video; the turbulent tale of one fisherman and his squid.
The band will be honing their live act throughout a four-date residency at The Bowery in London, which begins this very evening and wraps on 27 Sep, thus doubling up as the official ‘Build A Life’ single launch.
