Moral Panics - WLVS


Moral Panics - WLVS Review

Callum Thornhill

West Midlands band Moral Panics released EP - WLVS in 2013. A combination of soft melodic vocals and dreamy instrumentation. God only know why I've just discovered it.

The EP consists of 5 beautifully constructed tracks that are perfect for both sunny days relaxing with a Pimms, or watching the dull British weather out of your bedroom window.
WLVS opens with February, a track that will have you irritatingly tapping along to wishing you were musically gifted enough to replicate the sound.
Second track Belle Mort has summer written all over it. A funky bassline combined with drained vocals demonstrating magnificently just how fun and energetic Moral Panics are.

Maxim is the standout track for me on this record. It could be played on repeat for ages without getting sick of it, sheer bliss and relaxation at its best.

Penultimate track Fauve is a guitar based track that once again portrays raw energy from the band. I can see a room full of people dancing away to this, throwing their limbs everywhere.

Closing the EP is Young Hands, a more mellow and relaxed vibe to the release yet still a fantastic track to have on. Shadowy vocals, almost whispering heartfelt lyrics building up to a combined instrumentation, definitely a loveable track.

Catch Moral Panics at the Garage in London in June and see for yourself just how good the band really are.
