"Neon-soaked visuals brilliantly soundtracked by the groups scuzz-soaked pop" Wonderland  // The new track fine-tunes their pop sensibilities and knack for a killer hook DIY . Leeds-based six-piece release their mini-album Recital. Produced by Matt Peel this new collection follows singles, Back To Bay Six and Birthday Blues. Split into two contrasting halves, Recital is a compilation of seven recordings made up of two acts of three songs that bookend the release with an adjoining sound collage, Theme From Flint providing the segue between the two. With the opening half attuned to sagacious electronica and the second that feeds into the more caustic, post-punk, guitar-driven tendency of the group, the release is imbued with a sense of continuity, as if you were listening to an actual performance. Opening track (I Have a) Little Secret outlines those distinguishable, sugarcoated synth properties: We really resonate with the sincerity of pop music from the 70s and 80s, and the ability of so many bands from this period to transcend genre and remain influential, says guitarist, Josh.  Strange Year follows, cut from a similar cloth, recorded as exit-music for a fictional 80s coming-of-age film. Weird Movements ties up the first half of Recital with vocals by of the bands three singers, Thom - I love bands like Deerhunter, or Grizzly Bear that switch vocalists for a bunch of songs and it's no big deal, recalls Josh. Theme From Flint finds the first lead vocal from Hannah. (I Want Your) Life Hack is a Talking Heads song from an alternate dimension, describes Josh. Break Yr Heart continues to dial up this alternate personality of the band with Joshs vitriolic vocals seamlessly ricocheting between the guitars and Alexs percussion before climaxing with Love Irritant, the noisiest tune on Recital.
