Firstly, we hope all of our American readers had a nice, long Memorial Day weekend involving some form of barbecue (I was on a train and had their BBQ veggie burger. Sounds unexciting but it was fun!). Secondly, with a transition that really has no place here, comes a new song from Anglo-American duo, Rue Royale. Since posting about them in 2011, I’ve had a love-love relationship with the married pair, having listened to Guide To An Escape several times over. I’ve been eagerly awaiting new material, and last week they satisfied my hunger, providing the first single, “Set Out To Discover”, off their forthcoming album Remedies Ahead.
In their typical subdued manner, Ruth and BrookIn Dekker create a wandering melody for “Set Out To Discover,” with elegant, hushed harmonies. In perhaps a slight change of sound, they play around with psychedelia near the end of the tune. I’d like to hear more of that on Remedies Ahead, and expect they may be giving us a small taste to prepare us for what’s ahead.
