The Hours - See The Light

A stellar cast list backs the latest limited edition release from The Hours. With artwork once again from Damien Hirst it sports a rather disconcerting video shot by Tony Kaye, not to mention remixes from the ubiquitous Calvin Harris.

It's the original that holds the appeal, mind, which after its hazy opening really starts to project presence and stature. As it proceeds the song becomes more and more affirmative, a feeling clinched by the jangly guitars and upward sweep of the strings towards the end.

By that time Antony Genn's vocals have also made their mark, the catchphrase of "I know there is more light in us" hitting the spot. A beautifully structured and rather special song.
