London based Still Corners are jumping the pond in support of their Sub Pop debut, Creatures of an Hour, which will be available on Oct 11 in North America and world-wide on October 10. The band, comprised of Tessa Murray (vocals), Greg Hughes (guitar and keys), Leon Dufficy (guitar), Luke Jarvis (bass) and Paul Mayhew (drums) fuse a whispered intimacy with a sonic emotional expansiveness that linger like half-remembered dreams.

...as gooey and refreshing as a long afternoon in a hotel jacuzzi. The wispy London dream-poppers put those drums front and center of the track, and everything else here-- the ghostly goth-sprite vocals, the organ purrs, the delicate guitar flutters-- exists just to back up that thump-thumpthump-smack. And so the whole thing works as a floaty, ephemeral treat, a happy flirtation with the song's gushy girl-pop ancestors. This sort of blissed-out, subconscious-needling pop music, after all, works best when it remembers that it's still pop music. ("Endless Summer" Song Review 2010)- Pitchfork


...[Still Corners] sound is totally fresh thanks to one of the most gorgeous voices we've heard in a long time...gauzy and ethereal, like she's singing behind an organza veil, and the eerie organs and echo-y drums that accompany her help paint a picture that is both chilling and absolutely beautiful. It's the perfect soundtrack to a close encounter with the third kind (you know, if you ever happen to have one). ("Endless Summer" Song Review 2010)- Nylon

Mixing 60s production with dream-pop shimmer, are these wafty British etherealists heralding a new golden age of indie? (Band of the Day 2010)- The Guardian
