If the most popular band to come out of Devizes recently, Nothing Rhymes With Orange are really gathering pace and attention nationally, frontman Elijah Easton has turned his hand at a solo single……
A Californian author friend with her roots in Venezuela once told me about chilli peppers with the opposite effect to the chillis we here take for granted; they cool rather than heat. Good this, Street Lights takes us on a different journey with Elijah’s familiar vocals. Akin to the chilli, if NRWO are heating up right now, this solo single is Newton’s third law, the equal and opposite reaction; this is cool!
To listen to it alongside the NRWO skate-punker outpourings is to listen to Springsteen’s I’m on Fire alongside Born in the USA. Yeah, so its romance theme isn’t so divergent, but the acoustic-folk-folktronica approach is. But don’t run off spreading rumours of a band break up, though, this is more Careless Whisper, and something Elijah has been working on, self-producing alone whilst they’re saving pennies for some studio time to record future band tunes. Selected as BBC Introducing in the West Showcase Act, it’s worthy of your ears, and displays the range Elijah is willing to explore.
Meanwhile you can find Nothing Rhymes With Orange at Moles, Bath, on Friday 24th November supporting Pet Needs and Glitchers, and again in Bath on Thursday 30th November supporting The Manatees at Komedia.
