With their trademark guitar-pop sensibility and penchant for fish-hook melodies, No Trace is a chiming summer jangle of the finest ilk. Robert Scott (guitar/vocals) continues his mastery of the personal and pastoral, the landscape and longing - ‘lost in the street / trying to meet / someone to try and help me / faces around look to the ground / wondering what might be’. Scott wrote the song at home in Roseneath, near Port Chalmers. It’s pretty much a love song,” he says. “I’m so close to it, but I do like it and hope that others pick up on the vibe and feel of it, I like the way it zooms along.”
Recorded with Ben Edwards (Marlon Williams, Aldous Harding, Nadia Reid) in the port town of Lyttelton, The Deep Set is reflective of the band’s long and acclaimed history, but as the title suggests, the music is richer, expansive, deeper. Taking us from the sun of Otago’s Taieri River to darkest Durkestan and apparently ending in the midst of contemporary New Zealand politics, The Deep Set continues the composed confidence of their recent albums with one of The Bats’ strongest sets of songs, fueled by ever-more powerful guitars.
The
Deep Set is
out on 27 January 2017 on Flying Nun Records.
