The Nottinghamshire four-piece have been my biggest musical obsession since they released their debut album last year which was a fanfare of fiery explosive 80s/Gary Numan-inspired synth-beats, accompanied with heavy guitar riffs and quirky lyrics and music videos. A fresh breathe of air, and a highly original addition to the indie scene. Album of 2008, without shadow of doubt! A bit gutted that I only made it to one of their gigs last year though,being so drunk, I can only remember brief glimpses of it.
I was randomly stumbling upon their newest single the other day, taken from their upcoming album, and its quite different from their other songs. The dizzying post nu-raveness is replaced by a more retro daydreamy intergalactic odyssey and The Beatles reference is inevitable. The song is good, but I just hope that they will keep their distinguished "old" sound, and not go through a bloody reformation like so many other quality bands do when they release their second albums.
