Who: Jody Prewett (guitar, vocals, bass) Ben Rimmer (keyboard) and Kit Monteith (drums)
Where: Oxford
Why? The Oxford trio take a fresh approach to bittersweet pop combining lush melodies over danceable disco beats. Comparisons to Foals are likely to appear in every future article but the comparison could be seen as rather lazy (just because they are from Oxford and good friends).
The band are soon to be release debut single “microlite” through Moshi Moshi, it is a beautiful debut full with dream pop and disco tendencies with added melancholy for good measure. Staccato guitars and soft, sweet synths dominate the track with Jody Prewett’s innocent and boyish vocals over the top make for a delightful listen. With currently only three tracks up on their myspace including a brilliant cover of Joanna Newsome’s “The Book on the Right” a lot is expected of this new British band so be sure to check them out and to pick up or download the single released on Monday November 8th.
They are going to be touring with Foals on their upcoming UK tour (Southampton Guildhall November 7th) check their myspace for more details.
