The Fold "Six in the Morning" review + debut album release

I'm a sucker for a song with a three-count or waltz, so when The Fold from Melbourne, Australia got in touch and I heard their song, "Six in the Morning" I must say, it did catch my attention.

The intro is sweet, with just the guitar coming in first, and then that wonderful count. The instrumentation is tight - with a laid back swing. The horns add a nice touch, and the guitar solo and organ at the end is brilliant. The vocals and the lyrics of course are not to be forgotten. With what at first may seem like minimal effort, there's actually a lot going on with this song. You can focus on the music or be just as content when focusing on the vocals and the story being told. Excellent.

"Six in the Morning" is off of The Fold's debut album, 'A Kind of Lightening', which they're launching independently on the 19th July, 2008 in Melbourne. The band formed in 2002 and after playing shows around Melbourne and then later touring in London and Europe (with violinist Londoner Alison Blunt) promoting their first EP, the band scored a small grant from the Australia Council for the Arts and recorded their new album in Australia.

I'm hoping The Fold comes back to play in the UK soon. This would surely be a show to check out.
