Track of the Day: 'Deserter' by Siskiyou

This is a bit of an epic track that goes three or four different movements in its 5 and a half minutes. Opening with a spooky, rather chilling children's choir it then moves on to the main body of the song. This part has more than a hint of Arcade Fire about it, as the singer pleads with someone not to leave. There's a surprising saxophone solo in the middle too. A minute and a half before the end there's an instrumental section, and then it rounds off with a little acoustic verse at the end.

There's an album coming out on 29th January if you like this (which I do rather a lot) but in the meantime you can get this lead track for free below.
