Building on the successful release of their critically acclaimed “Departure EP”, Kent-based alt-rock band Motion Picture Soundtrack launch 2010 with their huge second single, “Glass Figures”, and the highly-anticipated debut album “The Shapes We Fear Are Of Our Own”. Based in Canterbury, MPS deftly weave engaging lyrics and moving melodies into their deep, dark rock tapestry. “Glass Figures”, one of the heavier outings from the album, shows the band not only masters of the crescendo, but also uniting tenderness with crushing rock. Their manifesto is simple–create music to move the listener.
