At this point, we’ve now heard 8 of the 14 songs on the regular version of Banks’ Goddess‘ album and it’s not out til 5th of September.
At Longitude, the main stage, when compared to the last time I caught her was too big for a three-piece band (last time the band numbered five or six) but she equipped herself well and kept the crowd’s attention, looking like the kind of woman who walks around with an umbrella in LA, using past relationships injustices as fuel for performance and song.
‘Beggin For Thread’ is Banks’ new single so it’s afforded video status. The song lets in a bit more light than a lot of the other tracks on the album but the video sticks to monochrome shade.”
