Danish four-piece Communions have announced details of a new EP. Communions will be released on Tough Love Records on Monday 1st June. There will be two vinyl pressings – one on black vinyl, the other on blue available only from the Tough Love store (now sold out). Communions – ‘Summer’s Oath EP’: Tough love signings Communion are one of a raft of new acts on the London label doing exciting things at the moment (see also: Danish oiks Yung and punk-tinged outfit Cruising) and ‘Summer’s Oath’ is a good taster of why. With a large hint of The Cure’s brooding noir-pop, their sound is hooky but hard-edged.
The listing of the EP is as follows:
1. Forget it’s a Dream
2. Wherever
3. Restless Hours
4. Summer’s Oath
5. Out of My World
The EP is their second release on Tough Love Records, following the release of AA-side single So Long Sun/Love Stands Still at the end of 2014. The limited 7” sold-out and Pitchfork were quick to praise the A-side and hone in on their musical influences: “The song oozes effervescent warbles—from vocalist Martin Rehof, and the interplay of shimmering guitars, and lovely crescendos of reverb, reminiscent of early Stone Roses.”
Communions, is made up of brothers Martin and Mads Rehof, Jacob van Deurs Formann and Frederik Lind Köppen, are fast-gaining attention for their transcendent melodies, delicate guitar lines and emotive pop songs about naivety and youth.
