Debut Album Hints at Success to Come For Royworld
For a band that just came together barely two years ago,
Royworld has certainly been active within that time period. Not
only has the group managed to find a system that seems to work
for them, they have produced enough music to complete an album,
gained the notice of some of the biggest names in the industry
and actually released a debut album. That is on top of
completing a headline tour in the UK which attracted throngs of
fans who have quickly become enamored of Royworld
music.
The group came together at Goldsmiths college in 2006 in London
and is comprised of Rod Futrille, singer, and drummer Gerry
Morgan. Two Harrogate school chums, Tim Miles and Rob Parken
complete the group on keyboards and guitar. Toss in Rod's
brother Crispin Futrille, who assists with writing music for
the group, and it is clear that this band has found a winning
combination that many are predicting will make them not only
the biggest band to emerge in 2008 but perhaps the decade as
well.
Already the group has not only caught the attention of fans but
some of the big names in the music industry as well. Radio 1
has practically taken the band under their wing in their
eagerness to play tracks from Royworld's debut album. Even some
of the more firmly established groups are sitting up and taking
notice of this band that has barely made it out of the starting
gate and is still managing to capture attention with their
unique style, fresh lyrics and nostalgic feel.
The emerging sounds of their debut album clearly point to the
fact that this is one group that cannot be ignored. Elasticity
is a prime example of the group's dynamic sound, featuring a
number of different vocal layers that flit between guitar riffs
that can only be described as skyscraping and piano loops that
are decidedly uptempo. That same feeling continues with Dust,
although the latter piece features stronger piano elements and
a passion that is much deeper than some of the other
pieces.
Wish Ourselves Away is also included on the album and continues
with many of the same elements, all of which offer a nice segue
into Brakes, which is decidedly different, with its defiant
acoustic style and slow-building emotion. Tinman and Brother
are featured later in the album with a style that is similar
enough to other pieces to be clearly identified as Royworld
work and yet different enough to soundly stand on their own.
Back Of My Mind, Astronaut and Science round out the album with
slow-building tension that eventually climbs to a scale that is
nothing short of epic. All total, this first debut album
clearly hints at the talent and skill which this group seems to
have embodied in their humble quartet. It certainly whets the
appetite for more and suggests that the group will not only
continue to experience success in the UK but internationally as
well.
