Brakes – Hold Me In The River
Posted by AlMachine on Tuesday, November 21, 2006

Brakes are set to release their new single ‘Hold Me In The River, which comes off their debut album ‘The Beatific Visions’ Brakes mix their sounds a bit with instruments such as the organ, guitars, piano, drums and percussion. That alone states that there is something interesting about these guys.

This has some fabulous guitar riffs that flitter all the way through. Hamilton delivers what is a faultless vocal performance that you could argue is aided by the distinctive style he has when singing. The only downside to this track is that it is only two minutes long, just as you start getting into it its over. It is a shame that ‘Hold Me In The River’ is so short because the song has that hook with the opening chord and things just go from strength to strength apart from the abrupt end.
