An album recorded in the former home of Stanley Kubrick really ought to have some cinematic quality to it, and there’s something in the power and drama of Saint Leonard’s Horses’ debut Good Luck Everybody – released this very day – that certainly delivers. At the end of a long trip from Hollywood to St Albans via the Mojave Desert and the Yorkshire Moors, Saint Leonard delivers a soulful record of big sounds and big heart. The video for ‘The Strangelove Hotel Suite’ (that’d be another Kubrick reference then) is something of a film noir slow burner, but you’re going to have to stay tuned to the end to see what he’s busy typing.
