Song of the Day: Sylver Tongue – Creatures

Posted on
25 Jul 2012

Every UK rock music fan who grew up in the 90s is probably a fanboy of Charlotte Hatherley, the barefoot playing guitarist of Ash. Since departing Ash, Hatherley has embarked on a semi successful solo career (Kim Wilde was kind of a hit) but most recently has been seen alongside Natasha Khan in the band Bat for Lashes.

This February, Hatherley dropped the guitar, added the synthesizer and adopted a new alter ego – Sylver Tongue. Creatures is one of the two released singles Hatherly has under this pseudonym. Musically, Sylver Tongue is a great departure from her previous efforts, which consisted of straight up guitar based rock tracks. Creatures is dark track layered with effects, drum machines and swirling synthesizers. You can probably draw comparisons to Fever Ray which is suitable since both were produced by the same producer.

It’s slightly hypnotic, check it out.
