From the South Coast of England, away from the glare of the capital, New Desert Blues have been carefully concocting Noire-infused, harmony-laden soundscapes since 2012, now possessing an arsenal of songs the next year looks to be a special one for the band.Following from the release of their debut single ‘Adam’ the band return with their first Extended Play, the engrossing ‘Devil’s Rope’, in January 2014 which features the band’s cinematic second single ‘Zachary’. Names have been given to songs as if characters of a story, the band have created a world within which these stories intertwine and their records serve as concise pieces of musical storytelling. ‘Devil’s Rope’ is the product of their recent sessions at London’s legendary RAK Studios where the band found themselves holed up for most of October. Together with RAK’s Isabel Seeliger-Morley they pieced together their debut EP, acting as co-producers the band put the time in to ensure that down to the finest detail, that their work was properly realised.
