Its a cinematic vibe that the real-life siblings -- lead singer\/guitarist Henry Stansall and singer\/instrumentalist Rupert Stansall -- first introduced on their 2018 Rick Rubin-produced debut, All My Shades of Blue, and further expanded on the follow-up, Ultramodern. But where their first album felt like an attempt at making an unabashed Roy Orbison production, Ultramodern (whose title was both a cheeky reference to the postwar 50s obsession with modernism and a winky nod to the pairs own anachronistic influences) found them incorporating a synthy, contemporary pop aesthetic into their sound. On Ten Paces, they split the difference, digging deeper into their 50s-inspired sound while also crafting pop hooks that wouldnt sound out of place on a record by the Killers. Conceptually, Ten Paces is built upon a conscious mix of film noir and cowboy Western tropes, and cuts like \"Slow Draw,\" \"Bullet Blues,\" and \"Hi-Yo\" find the duo transforming the pulpy themes into catchy, metaphorical pop anthems. They explicitly highlight the concept on the romantic \"Dont Know Whats Come Over You,\" singing \"Like a sci-fi dream\/Or a story in the west\/That I dont wanna see\/Though I wanna know the end.\" Vocally, singer Henry Stansalls wavering, hardboiled Willie Nelson croon is a perfect fit for this type of stylized pop, ably straddling the matinee idol line between Chris Isaak and Bryan Ferry. Theres also a shadowy sense of paranoia running through the album, as in \"The Fear,\" where Stansall yearns for his lovers embrace, singing \"And Im comfy in my bed\/Comfy in my home\/You can rock my twilight zone.\" With Ten Paces, Ruen Brothers have crafted an album caught between the dream of a 50s pulp past and the harsh light of the present, one that lives in its own pop twilight zone. ~ Matt Collar\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Slow Draw2.The Fear3.Hi-Yo4.Don't Know What's Come Over You5.Bullet Blues6.Silver to Gold7.The Good Surely Die8.Free as the Birds9.Sleep10.Long Road\u003cbr\u003e1.Slow Draw\u003cbr\u003e2.The Fear\u003cbr\u003e3.Hi-Yo\u003cbr\u003e4.Don't Know What's Come Over You\u003cbr\u003e5.Bullet Blues\u003cbr\u003e6.Silver to Gold\u003cbr\u003e7.The Good Surely Die\u003cbr\u003e8.Free as the Birds\u003cbr\u003e9.Sleep\u003cbr\u003e10.Long Road\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yep Roc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51947970003233,"sku":"634457112308","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/634457112308.jpg?v=1761404725","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-be\/products\/634457112308","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
