Baby They Were Born To Ballad

Civil Twilight
Genre: Rock / Alternative / Pop
From: Cape Town, South Africa

South African balladeers Civil Twilight are surely about to go global on the back of their track 'Letters From The Sky' sound tracking the most moving, emotional and romantic scene on television in 2009, or ever, the death of Chloe on Harpers Island. Anyone who claims not to be moved has got a stone where their heart should be. If you haven't seen it yet then you can catch it in the video below. Letters From The Sky is a gorgeous soundscape of a song that will forever be connected in my mind with the beautiful and tragic Chloe falling to her death.

If you're expecting Civil Twilight to be a sub Coldplay band with a sackful of songs that tug at the heartstrings then prepare yourself for a surprise. Well actually no there's no surprise they do have a sackful of of tracks in a similar vein to Letters From The Sky, check out Human, Next To Me and Run Dry all of which Chris Martin would crawl over broken organic glass for. It's not all windswept ballads to soundtrack tragic tv scenes the band can rawk, as they do on Soldier, but it just doesn't become them.

If ever a band was born to ballad it's Civil Twilight.
