I've already waxed lyrical about this lot a fair bit. Original, they ain't, but to adapt a quote from someone else: 'How are you supposed to know it's a Pastels rip-off if you've never heard the Pastels?' Call it faux-naiveté on their part if you like, but that wall of distorted, powerchord-driven indie-pop remains the perfect template for the lyrical narratives of awkward youth. 'Come Saturday' is, in this respect, the album in miniature: feedback, fuzzy guitars, cooing backing vocals, and a tale of summer love that cares for nothing but the moment: 'I can't see into the sunset / All I know is that you're perfect right now.' Absolutely wonderful.

They are excellent. downloaded their new EP?
Not out til the 22nd, no? I was just looking at your blog, nice to see a fellow Manc-dweller with fine taste!
A super fantastic recommendation. I listened to the Higher Than Stars EP recently and was impressed. The title track really blew be away. The opening lyrics are quite something, "shitfaced, fumbling in a dark place, drinking in the last days / this street looks just like the next street, bumblefuck on repeat".
Can't wait to hear the album.
