We're super excited to announce that we are playing our biggest show yet, at the legendary Forum in Kentish Town. It's a big old room to fill, but having smashed Koko in May, we're feeling confident! Really happy to have the incredible Heliocentrics leading the support, which also includes the one and only Huey Morgan and other great acts.
Don't hang about getting tickets for this one; it's going to be absolutely mega!
We are gutted to announce that our Bestival set at the phenomenal Box stage on Sunday evening was cancelled due to terrible weather. In fact, the entire site was evacuated! Props to everyone at Bestival for handling things so well; we are, of course, gutted, but hope to be back next year instead!
We're super excited to announce that our first LIVE album is out on 12th May 2017. After three studio albums, it felt like time to capture the magic of some live shows. We're really happy with the result. Press release is below, but meanwhile have a listen to some teaser tracks here.
Our brand new deluxe Sharpener double vinyl is finally here! We're super excited about this; the whole of Sharpener plus THREE BONUS TRACKS, all presented on sexy red and moody blue double vinyl, with stunning gatefold artwork and a download code for the whole extended deluxe version of the album.
Loads of reviews coming in, and they're all lovely!
But don't take their word for it, listen yourself!
Here's a taste:
‘An ingenious blend of showmanship and intelligence’
- Sunday Times
'They show off their range and expertise…clever, and enormous fun’
- Guardian
Our third album Sharpener is almost here.
We've had a really great few years since we released our last record Common Decency, and we think we've really developed what we do. We've been listening to a lot of rock and electronica and jazz and have really pushed our original writing to the fore, which we started with Common Decency. We've been using electronics and drum machines in our live shows for a while now, and wanted to reflect a bit of that on record, but of course without sidelining our trademark seven horns-two drums line up or sound.
