Eagulls - Ullages (2016)

Eagulls are a post-punk 5 piece hailing from Leeds. Partisan released their debut self-titled album in 2013. The band played Jools Holland, The Late Show with David Letterman and played with the likes of Jesus and Mary Chain, Suede, Ride and Franz Ferdinand. Whilst their debut album was a juggernaut of a record, often moving at breakneck speed and intensity, it was also a deeply melodic one, one that underneath the heady fuzz and gushing charge of the guitars laid a band with just as many pop leanings as they had punk. It's these moments that have been brought to the surface on the new record, 'Ullages': dense, deeply textured explorations that recall the shimmering opulence of the Cocteau Twins and the ominous gloom of Disintegration / Pornography-era The Cure.
