American duo The Revival Hour have announced that their debut album ‘Scorpio Little Devil’ will hit shelves on January 13th next year.
Consisting of DM Stith and John-Mark Lapham, the duo's debut introduces an extraordinary fusion of panoramic and timeless sound with a thoroughly modernist and intimate feel: 60’s R&B, soul, doo-wop and pop, fused together by a panoply of electronics and Stith’s heavenly singing and vivid lyrical narratives.
In celebration of the new record, the band have even put up brand new track ‘Hold Back’ up for stream and download for absolutely free - you can check that out below.
The Revival Hour’s brilliance isn’t surprising when you know the duo's previous form. Texas-born Lapham was the sounds-and-samples component of Manchester-based The Earlies, purveyors of a kaleidoscopic brand of folk-tronica explored over two celebrated albums. The Buffalo-born Stith, meanwhile, released an equally revered debut album, 'Heavy Ghost', in 2009 on Sufjan Steven’s Asthmatic Kitty label.
