I love this band and although they have a firm fanbase I think they’re hugely underrated. They’ve been kicking around for 10 years, countless bands have come and gone in that time frame and having made two albums of joyously wonderful music they’ve been quiet since 2011 (apart from the brilliant cheeky Ghost Box side project The Pattern Forms). They merge wistful, immaculate pop songwriting firmly in the territory of Scritti Politti, Blue Nile and Prefab Sprout but with a massive dose of Rave and House music beats. They sound like someone created a band I would like in a lab so they can do no wrong in my eyes- but if you’ve written ’em off as Indie Landfill or whatever have a listen – they have a new album on the way – I’m predicting it will be a bit of a banger.
