On April 6th Operahouse release their debut album ‘Escape from the Sun’. Released by Marrakesh Records, ‘Escape from the Sun’ is a heroic, barnstorming entrance worthy of the Pyramid Stage on a Saturday night. Produced by Richard McNamara from those similarly minded peddlers of BIG anthems, Embrace, and mixed by magic-fingers himself, Dave Bascombe – a veteran of albums by Depeche Mode, Peter Gabriel and Tears For Fears – the record was made with all the urgency, passion and craft of a band who know, says singer Johnny Lloyd, that “you just don’t get a second chance at this thing.
OPERAHOUSE
Given the opportunity to describe their own sound before that particular right is taken away from them by a swarm of hyperbole employing critics, Operahouse guitarist Alexander Kaines – who shares these duties with his fellow songwriter and lead singer, Johnny Lloyd – chooses to describe it thus: “A big, epic, sci-fi thing.”
Big and epic is about right.

The newer stuff is a vast improvement to Man Next Door et al (which in itself was good). Looking forward to an album release.

There are a couple of unreleased songs on the hype machine as well but I bought the rest. Apparently change in nature is the only song they're playing at the moment? which is a shame because as hackneyed as Man Next Door and Born A Boy were, Diane was pretty good.
