Another great review of Loosely Based On Fiction can be found in the current issue of Hot Press, awarding the album 4 out of 5…

“These are tales of trampled hearts and souls … its the stuff of all humankind. What’s rare and worth cherishing is the poetic flair with which Escape Act navigate these much weathered narratives. Their uncanny knack for creating surging, senses-filling melodies – all shuddering guitars, yearning vocals and racing beyond the speed limits rhythms – further helps illuminate their lyrical manuscript.

With more hooks than an abattoir and slab upon slab of bristling melodies, most strikingly on Corpses Candle and Kings Have Fallen, Loosely Based On Fiction is indie rock in excelsis.”

Chris also spoke to Colin Carberry a few weeks ago and the interview appears in the Hit The North column in the same issue. Colin had this to say…

“Loosely Based On Fiction – the debut album by the Belfast three-piece is as comfortable making a massive clatter as it is conjuring up sing-song melodies. On one hand, the buzz-saw guitars, brittle production, and lurches into unhinged noise would see it nestle comfortably alongside your Husker Du, Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr records. On the other hand the wide-eyed choruses, smart lyrical observations, and giddy pop-sensibility means it can slip in just as easily beside Orange Juice, Franz Ferdinand and even The Jam.”

Check out the current issue (51) of AU for a great review of the album, written by Editor and all round gentleman Francis Jones. Awarding it 8 out of 10 he writes:

“These are songs to make your inner indie boy rejoice. The debut album from Belfast’s Escape Act, Loosely Based On Fiction drips indie melodies like tears from the sainted eyes of Morrissey. It’s a beautiful, heart-bursting experience. Hearing ‘Kings Have Fallen’ is like being impaled on a shaft of sunlight, the guitar and voice racing hand-in-hand like young lovers.

Meanwhile, former single, ‘God Says’ throws a Pixies freakout before sliding into a chorus as golden sweet as a vat of honey. What’s particularly encouraging here is that these songs are as lyrically imaginative as they are tuneful; phrases are bent winningly out of shape and the vocabulary is extended into the poetic. Indeed, the later ‘Sullied Behave For The Moon’ – all coiled power and evocative atmospherics – and the obscenely catchy final one-two of ‘Corpses Candle’ and ‘Broken Chin’ suggest that this is a band deserving of a place amongst the highest echelons of Northern Irish alt. rock.”
