Leeds-based seven-piece Submotion Orchestra are a perfect fit with Exceptional Records, a label whose reputation was initially made promoting nu-jazz, downtempo and pleasing fusions of organic and electronic sounds. Finest Hour, their debut album, perfectly showcases their open-minded but calculated approach - a fragile but occasionally grandiose mix of emotionally resonant songs forged from downtempo beats, trip-hop, dub and jazz, with occasional injections of dubstep and two-step rhythms. It's the kind of music you can easily lose yourself in - particularly closer "Perfection" and the soaring jazz ballad "Suffer Not" - but there are enough upbeat moments to stave off accusations of coffee table noodling.
