Royworld
Elasticity/ Tinman

This record left our Ant feeling unmoved.

Apparently Royworld are destined for big things. The name is comical to me. They've just signed to Virgin but have a 7" on Label Fandango in the meantime. I've just clocked the press release and apparently they played a gig at 'The Purple Turtle'. A name which is also comical to me. There's one bit in the track where the singer sounds like a chicken although I'm relatively sure that wasn't his intention. There's an 80's pop/rock thing happening here with a bit of piano.

What their label says...

A brief flash of light, a shadow in the dark, a ship in the night...ROYWORLD is surely a band of stealth. One sultry night in late summer four well-mannered men play a vivacious show to a few dozen friends and enthusiasts at the Purple Turtle in Camden Town. Two weeks later they entertain a crammed industry ratfest at the Hope & Anchor in Islington. In the few days in between they are snapped up by Virgin Records. It probably isn't the shortest A&R non-race of all time, but it isn't far off. Happily, before the ink has dried on the major contract ROYWORLD agree to release a single on Label Fandango. And this is it.
'Elasticity' is dead smart pop like they used to make in the olden days mixed with the sort of lovely modern melodramatics which have recently seen them lurking in the studio with Andy Green, Keane's producer. The flipside 'Tinman', meanwhile, is a quietly brilliant hyperballad which will have them swooning in the aisles andsweeping fallen angels off the altar. Both songs will be appearing again on the quartet's major label debut album, slated for release in the spring of next year.
