Old Statues

Other Lives

Play It Again Sam

WE SAY

This beautifully textured song comes from Oklahoma's Other Lives. The state name comes from Okla humma meaning 'red people', and you can imagine a cowboy and Indian showdown epic to the sound of Old Statues. Second album Tamer Animals has been met with a strong thumbs up: MOJO, Uncut, Q, The Sun, The Independent are all fans, with The Guardian dedicating a full page spread in last Friday's Guardian to the band. Radio is equally strong, the band have done interviews on Radio 1 with Zane Lowe, Radio 2 with Dermot O’Leary, Radio 4’s Loose Ends, 6Music’s Radcliffe & Maconie and Xfm X-posure. Other Lives are currently touring the UK and Europe, we highly recommend you catch their emotive dark tones when they come to London.

London Gig: November 21, St Giles Church WC2
