Thirteen Senses are a band from Cornwall, UK. In April 2007 they released their follow-up to 2004's 'The Invitation' entitled 'Contact'. While the band has had some success I really don't feel as if they have been given their fair chance. It seems very easy for some to write them off as just another Coldplay rip-off band and to never actually give their music a chance. But this would be a mistake. Most importantly because you'd be missing out on some really great music. Don't think for a second that Thirteen Senses is a second-rate Keane who write mediocre songs. This couldn't be further from the truth.
All 11 tracks off Thirteen Senses' latest CD 'Contact' are perfectly and beautifully crafted. There are no fillers here. The album's open, also called 'Contact' was released as the first single and should leave no doubt in your mind that Thirteen Senses have some great music in them. Also check out the singles 'All the Love in Your Hands' and 'Follow Me' if you need more proof. And they offer more than just upbeat piano-driven tunes. Case in point, the closing song off 'Contact' called 'Ones and Zeros.' Its dark and haunting and will leave you wanting more.
'Contact' has been available in the UK for a while now but for some reason I can't seem to find a release date for North America. However, US fans can download it off iTunes. Canadian fans, you are out of luck as it does not appear to be available on iTunes Canada. However, I will be sure to let you know the moment it is.
