The act named as one of Rolling Stone's Best New Bands of 2010 will release their debut UK single on June 6th.
The powerful, spine-tingler of a track, 'Tiny Light', comes from Grace Potter and the Nocturnal's forthcoming, self-titled album.
Produced by Mark Batson (Dr. Dre, Eminem, Jay-Z), the song kicks off with a moody AOR tinged kind of melancholy that wouldn't seem out of place next to the more downbeat moments on Fleetwood Mac's 'Tusk'. Hope and redemption come in the shape of a soaring chorus as well as through Grace's cathartic, powerhouse wails at the climax of the song.
Inspired by the worldwide financial crisis of the past few years, the song's intensity should come as no surprise, but what is a shock - albeit a pleasant one – is the way Grace's vocals morph from honeyed huskiness into a full throttle, Janis Joplin-worthy siren screech.
Impressively howling and crooning her way through this 'light at the end of the tunnel' anthem, the front-woman of these Vermont based bluesbreakers has set up her stall as one this summer's vocalists to watch.
The band's first UK album, 'Grace Potter and the Nocturnals' will be released on August 2nd.
