Myspace // "1989" [Audio]
They emerged at the top of their scene five years ago, and while many of the new wave-redux bands have fallen by the wayside, it seems as though The Rakes have held on with consistently solid material. Their third album, Klang, has been available since March in the UK, but it will get a digital release on 20 October in the US. This will be coupled with a short tour hitting several markets across North America.

It took me a little while to come around to Sky Larkin’s debut album The Golden Spike. Perhaps it was being a little too familiar with a bunch of the songs, or that the production was rather more polished than on anything they had done previously. Time has worked in it’s favour though, and it now feels like a record that will probably be amongst my favourites of the year.
