Indie sounds mixed with dancefloor beats and a big helping of Ibizan euphoria – that’s the flavour schoolfriends Rob (vocals/guitar), Mike (keys) and James (drums) mine, and boy do they do it well.
The buzz so far: template laid out through early singles Sunshine Eyes and Morning and throws into the mix a laidback chill-out vibe across four sun-drenched cuts of danceable, catchy synth-laden pop perfection. Like a sunnier, smilier Hot Chip.
The Critics say: “They deliver a club-friendly punch heavier than most DJs could replicate” Artrocker
