Chapters Make Emmerdale Breakthrough

The Chapters are the latest Irish band to make waves across the water, with their single 'Videotapes' set to get a hugely sought after airing on the highly popular UK soap Emmerdale.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 04 Nov 2009

The track which was released in May to critical acclaim and national airplay will be played as part of Emmerdale’s Bonfire Night Show, tomorrow night, Thursday November 5th.

"The band will be heading for a pint down the Wool Pack," manager Shane Dunne joked, as he revealed the news.

The Chapters, who were among the Irish artists who starred at The Music Show recently and also made a special appearance at the RDS during the Leinster v Munstar rugby match, have had four tracks picked up by ITV to date while also having two tracks from debut album Perfect Stranger picked up by RTE, a hugely encouraging signpost to their future potential.

The Chapters play a headline show at Dublin’s Academy venue on November 20th as part of their current nationwide tour.

It wasn’t so long ago that The Chapters shifted focus to immerse themselves in a love of all things Americana. Maybe I’m misreading it, but ‘Looking For Love’ suggests another change of direction, this time in favour of a tight garage guitar sound. It’s not a bad song by any means, but ‘Heart Of Glass’ (no, not a Blondie cover) – which is closer to the Americana blueprint – is far better, succeeding more by trying less.

Give this a bit of time. The arresting song structure and tempo changes mean that the opening track ‘Four Thorns’ doesn’t lodge fully in the brain on first listen – but with repeated exposure it emerges as a powerful and ambitious statement, featuring Ross McNally’s distinctive, emotionally appealing voice. The Chapters have retained the fragile elements that made their debut EP The Indecision Of Arthur Molloy so enchanting, but have added a muscular, masculine quality that will have fans of The Band swooning. There is a pop dimension at times in the choruses that recalls The Eagles – but behind the sweeter moments lurks something epic. There’s a great album in there, waiting to be made…

The Chapters were a loud rock ‘n’ roll band until they went to ground and discovered a love of Band-era Americana and ambient Floyd.

Dunno who this Arthur Molloy is, but he has evidently inspired a record of such sheer beauty, sincerity and substance, he must be a fine and glorious fellow indeed.
