Montpelier- Last Boat

Hauntingly beautiful....

This gave me goosebumps the first time it wafted through my speakers, and has been on high rotation ever since. A mournful lament with such sweet sounding harmonies, this is the latest tune from Brisbane four-piece Montpelier.

Comprising Dave Butler (vocals, guitar), Greg Chiapello (vocals, bass),Andrew Stone (keyboards) and John Pickering (Drums), Montpelier are a formidable force with two amazing lead vocalists who compliment each other beautifully. I am struggling to find the words to fully portray the exquisiteness of their sound... But since there is this little website called Facebook complete with this amazing contraption called a music player you can just log on to their page and listen to what I'm making all this fuss about.

Lush and layered, this is an alluring, delightful piece of music, smooth and polished, even the artwork is divine. It's slow, it's sweet and you need to listen to it!

And it's just a tantilising taste, a snippet from their next EP which is due out in April and was recorded in Sydney with Tim Powles (Regular John, The Church). A small exquisite offering to tantilise the taste buds and leave us wanting more and wishing the months away...

Hurry up April, I need to hear more...
