Chapel Club are a new band that is yet to release an E.P or L.P but have released great tasters during the year as well as playing the NME Radar tour with The Joy Formidable and Flats, quietly creating hype around them. One of their first offerings, the brilliantly subtle, swirling , Surfacing is a brilliant way to assert yourself on the forefront of the indie scene.
Lead singer Lewis Bowman, an award winning poet as a teenager, really creates a beautiful atmosphere around the booming drums and thudding bass with his wordplay “Night breezes seem to whisper I love you/Bodies swinging in the sycamore tree/ Dream a little dream of me.” With this they already pull themselves out of the “post Joy Division” catalogue with exciting live shows and a depth that exceeds most other bands looped in this category. Watch out for them as one of the big new bands of 2011.
