A devoted cinephile, Hughes sees film as a major influence in the band, from the projections (created by band member Leon Dufficy) that feature heavily in their live performances, to the free-floating grace of the new album. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at his own studio in Greenwich, \u003cstrong\u003eCreatures of an Hour\u003c\/strong\u003e fuses whispered intimacy to the emotional expansiveness of composer Ennio Morricone. Hughes has crafted an album of deceptively simple songs that linger like half-remembered dreams. Lead single Cuckoo shines in its simplicity, a single drumbeat, ghostly guitar, and distant organ highlighting Murray’s haunting soprano as she asks, “I’d like to read your mind\/can you read mine?” Hughes explains, “It’s about being confused. Am I going crazy? Does this person like me? What’s happening? That’s the vibe of the whole record really.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor now, Hughes is happy to maintain \u003cstrong\u003eStill Corners\u003c\/strong\u003e’ musical mystery. “I don’t like to talk too much on decoding the songs. It takes the mystery away,” he says. Reviewers like Gorilla vs. Bear, Pitchfork and Drowned in Sound, however, have proven more than happy to sing the praises of Still Corners’ pop beauty. So grab some popcorn and stick around—for \u003cstrong\u003eStill Corners\u003c\/strong\u003e this is just act one. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=OLAK5uy_kwk2hBS4cuoSTe6wLFOjsICljDMNwiOx4\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Still Corners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44417997144251,"sku":"","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0517\/0341\/4971\/products\/STILLCORNERS-CREATURESOFANHOUR-COVER.jpg?v=1676391464","url":"https:\/\/bizarromarket.mom\/products\/still-corners-creatures-of-an-hour","provider":"Bizarro Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
