When your debut album is a huge success then it’s always going to be difficult to follow it up. Elliot Minor’s self-titled debut spawned such commercially successful singles as ‘Still Figuring Out’, ‘Parallel Worlds’, and ‘Jessica’, and the band is now back with some new music to try and wow the masses.
‘Solaris’ is the latest single from Elliot Minor, and is a pleasant piece of music which suggests that the band’s second album will once again impress. It’s not blessed with the incredibly catchy chorus that the aforementioned singles all have, it is however a very nice track to listen to, and one that fans of the first album will surely appreciate.
The vocals of Alex Davies are excellent here as always, and the keyboard work also is truly exceptional. ‘Solaris’ is perhaps not what you’d expect from a lead single, it is however a very well composed piece of music, and one which provides for a supremely satisfying overall listening experience.
If you were a fan of the first Elliot Minor album then definitely be sure to give ‘Solaris’ a listen.
