The third
single to be taken from the band’s superb debut album, The End, is Underrated;
ironically both by title and status! Indie pop five piece fronted by Alex
Starling, former member of Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, have created a masterpiece
of synth pop. Underrated’s simple structure along with Alex’s unique vocals
over atmospheric tones and the occasional chiming bell, complete with a driving
dance beat and a generous helping of electronics is the perfect concoction. I'm under no illusion that you’ll be humming the catchy yet mildly downbeat chorus
for days.
The single,
co-produced by electro pop experts Andres Kallmark and Tim Bran has an equally captivating
accompanying video, produced by Tim Burton collaborator Alex Kyrou. This great
piece of black and white cinematography sees a surreal mix-up of worlds between
a 1920s style Alex Starling and the rest of the band in modern day. The truly
engaging and deeply clever concept video compliments the song well.
After a
summer of festivals, including the infamous Chazzstock where they shared a
stage with the likes of The Vaccines and The Horrors, the band are back to writing and their first nationwide tour is set to
begin in autumn. Underrated will be available to purchase or download on 15th
October.
