Operahouse
Genius Child

Marrakesh

WE SAY

Operahouse's big anthemic sound is attracting plenty of interest and fans right now. This is their next single, released ahead of their debut album Escape From The Sun. The album, due out on April 6 on Marrakesh Records , was produced by Richard McNamara from Embrace, and mixed by Dave Bascombe (Depeche Mode, Peter Gabriel). Recent London shows have seen an enthusiastic industry turnout - tracks like these point to a band with an assured identity and sound. They make their US debut this month, playing shows in New York and Boston, then SXSW shows in March, followed by LA shows in April. JF. Tipped by: Pete Jarrett
