It’s a two-way street though, and those fans wouldn’t have done it if Gaolers Daughter were some run of the mill band, happy to regurgitate the same crap over and over, safe in the knowledge it would bring them success. Luckily for all parties, Gaolers Daughter are something special. Each track brings with it a different story, an aspect of diversity that certain musicians seem to have forgotten all about. Lead single Cordelia is an absolute beauty of a track, keeping with a slow and steady beat that is heavily influenced by guitar, which would be the one running theme throughout the album. The songs are written around an intricate and intelligent riff and the rest of the music just seems to fall effortlessly into perfect harmony, like a puzzle in a gravity free zone falling perfectly into place upon touching back down on earth.

They also have a canny knack of being able to explore different genres with a strum of a bass line. 3 Days Rain showcases this perfectly, with a melodic intro and harmonic verses suddenly erupting into a balls out rock n roll chorus that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Biffy Clyro record. It all then comes to a frantic finish, and before you know it the songs over. Follow up track Eternal Bliss follows on this spontaneous path, with lead singer and six stringer John Sterry crooning his clever, witty lyrics with backing music sounding far wise beyond the group’s young years. How Do You Know has an Arctic Monkeys feel about it, which can obviously never be a bad thing.

How To Make Time is an astonishing effort for a debut album. It is absolutely criminal to think this record might have never seen the light of day without the help of those who have fallen under their spell. To the fans, and indeed the members of Gaolers Daughter (the aforementioned Sterry, Alex Mahood on guitar, Alfie Ambrose on bass and Ben Hutchinson on drums), we salute you all.

They head out on tour supporting Babyshambles on a couple of their September dates in a couple of weeks. This isn’t the first time they’ve played with them either. If that’s not enough of a recommendation, then I don’t know what is wrong with you. They will be playing:

Sunday 15th – The Great Hall, Cardiff University

Monday 16th – LCR, UEA

How To Make Time is available to buy/listen to/steal now. You can listen to lead single Cordelia below.

Having earned rave reviews across the UK music scene from acclaimed names in the business such as Zane Lowe, Steve Lamacq, Mary Anne Hobbs and many more, the quartet have had a hectic summer schedule as they continue in their bid to get their name out in the open in the hope of attracting more and more fans. Seeing as they have already had a plethora of impressive support slots, including Babyshambles and We Are Scientists, it can’t be too long before Gaolers Daughter are thrusted into the spotlight and getting the plaudits they so desperately deserve.

With a launch party prepared on Monday 23rd of August at The Monarch in London, it is sure to be a night where the roof is taken off, glasses are raised and cheers are made. How To Make Time promises to be an astronomical record and is capable of taking the group to the next step. The album comes out on 26th of August, and be sure to get a hold of a copy by any means necessary. You can watch the video to Cordelia below to get a snippet of what to expect when the album drops in a couple of weeks’ time.
