Listen to the new EP from The Notas

On the new Creatures Of The Night EP from The Notas, the North county Dublin band push their music further into new-romantic territory while maintaining their intricate indie sound. The six-piece band are still in thrall to spatial instrumentation and gentle guitar notes but singer Maurice Hans’ delivery has grown more dramatic, a fact that has been obvious at recent live gigs. We’ve already heard the EP track ‘Rosemary’ and on the other three tracks on the release, the music takes in Foals-esque cascading guitar licks and dynamically built crescendos. It’s further proof that The Notas can write good tunes. Their next task, is to carve out a musical landscape of their own (they’re still young) but for now, their second EP will do nicely.
