NEW SINGLE
“MIMIC”
RELEASED OCTOBER 7th 2013 ON MEDICAL RECORDS

Debut album, Resolute, out on 11th Feb 2014

‘Mimic’, the first single to be released from KILTO TAKE’s forthcoming debut album – ‘Resolute’ – is an unwavering introduction to a band that displays their ability to deliver and blend intimate and intricate musical dynamics on an epic scale. 

Spikey, angular yet expansive guitars accent the sublime interplay between the drums and bass, providing the perfect platform to delve into Mimic’s murky lyrical theme of the inherent self-destruction of modern life. As lead singer Jonathan explains:“It focuses on the pastimes of a hedonist ‘mimicking a life’ of empty, throwaway, lust-fuelled pursuits, becoming just another lost soul of 'dissolute culture'…giving it away all to easily."

Taking influences from the best of early-U2, early-Radiohead, The Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen; this dark, anthemic offering typifies the bands approach to making the music that they love. It is not a dismissal of current trends, more an appreciation of the need to stay true to themselves and their heroes, whilst delivering something entirely new. 

With this approach the Hertfordshire based band seem destined to follow in the footsteps of the UK’s most esteemed indie-rock acts and having already been main support for bands such as Django Django, LOOM, Theme Park, Man Like Me and The Chapman Family to name a few, it’s difficult to think of another powerhouse capable of packing this much punch and intensity, so early on in their musical career...

Their debut album ‘Resolute’ will be released via Medical Records on November 25th 2013. The album was produced by Ru Cook (Everything Everything), with art direction from award winning artist Jonathan Cooke (Fabric, Village Green, Visionquest) and campaign photography from Phil Sharp (Mark Ronson, Jarvis Cocker, Ghostpoet, Carl Barat, Metronomy).

Kilto Take - Mimic

SINGLE - DEFECTION/RETROGRESS - FEB 10TH 2014 
ALBUM - RESOLUTE - FEB 10TH 2014

via Medical Records

After a 6 month delay, indie-rock band KILTO TAKE are set to finally launch their eagerly awaited, powerful debut album, aptly named ‘RESOLUTE’, on February 11th 2014 on Medical Records. Crafted in the midst of uncertainty as the band's lead singer entered end stage kidney failure, the album is an ode to their unwavering and driven ability to stand vehemently by their musical convictions and passion no matter what, to deliver this dark, brooding yet anthemic, euphonious statement.

Irrespective of circumstance, the Hertfordshire three-piece (comprising singer and guitarist Jon Crosby, bass player Karl Grant, and drummer Lee James Spavins) came into their own, honing their collective talents to write and record their album in just over a month. The resulting body of work is infused with the life-blood that fed British modern rock, inspired by the sounds of The Chameleons, The Cure, Radiohead, Echo and the Bunnymen, Slowdive, early U2…, all delivered in a succinct 44 minutes and 44 seconds.

Ramping up their gigging schedule and performing at prestigious venues up and down the country, launch plans were temporarily placed on hold as the band's frontman received unexpected transplant surgery.

In the meantime the momentum didn’t stop, seeing the band garnering recognition and significant support from MUZU TV, Steve Lamacq (BBC 6 Music), Frank Skinner (Absolute Radio), Amazing Radio, The 405 and Classic Rock (to name but a few).

Back to full complement, KILTO TAKE's next step forward is now set in stone, with the release of their new double A-side single, ‘Defection’ / ‘Retrogress’. Released on the same day as ‘RESOLUTE’, the single stands as a defiant proclamation of a band that refuses to let anything get in the way of their music and is the perfect precursor to the album – a slow-burning, yet beguiling introduction to a collection of songs that slips effortlessly into the psyche, and to a band with a firm foothold on the first rung of their musical career.

Lead singer Jon Crosby comments on the album - “RESOLUTE is one of those albums that came together fairly quickly. We entered the studio with no preconceived ideas other than we wanted to stick to our musical roots and inspirations, creating something new that would be a strong basis for us to evolve from… our starting point. It was more about going back to basics, feeding off each others energy and just seeing what we could create in that heightened moment of time. It is definitely a grower and an album that is at its best when played loud. We are really looking forward to finally getting it out there."

The album was produced by Ru Cook (Everything Everything) at Lost Boys Studio with campaign artwork from award winning art director Jonathan Cooke (Village Green, Fabric, Visionquest...).
