Recently celebrating their 100th gig, this November the band truly come of age with their debut EP landing on the indie taste-maker label Fat Possum Records. Recorded with Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox at Echo Zoo studio in Eastbourne, the group present us with cinematic arrangements, mauled by moments of cacophony; the band’s Billy Ward says of their writing process, “we thrive on the thin line between pretty and noisy, often trying to jump between the two – it’s that chaos that excites us.”
The group have a busy touring schedule ahead of them, and last week announced not only SXSW next March but their biggest London headliner yet in April at The Scala.
