Listen: Alphabetical Order Orchestra – The Architect
Four years since the release of Deaths and Entrances, the second album from Scottish indie rock experimentalists My Latest Novel, the band return today under the Alphabetical Order Orchestra moniker – an entirely new side-project featuring a slimmed down line-up and a more sprightly, carefree direction.
Featuring brothers Chris and Gary Deveney alongside drummer Ryan King, ‘The Architect’ acts as the first instalment of AOO material and was recorded just a few days ago at Chemical Underground studios.
A ‘chirpier’ affair than that of My Latest Novel’s oft bleak material, the song speaks of fresh starts and do-overs with the Deveney brothers musing “has it ever killed anyone to start again?” over breezy acoustic guitars and a brisk drum backing.
Straight-forward in approach, ‘The Architect’ steps away from My Latest Novel’s previous dalliances in post-rock and epic arrangements to deliver a short and tender folk pop song. Listen below.
