Having the distinct pleasure of filming a session at BBC Introducing with the band only this week, it amazes me how cleverly put together their songs are. Ewan jumps between cowbell, tambourine and the mystical world of his sampler where his fingers seem to dance, blaring out a panoply of wonderful sounds. Callum plays a baritone guitar but with bass strings fitted to it. The vocals from both brothers are fuzzed with effects pedals and rest perfectly in the music. Olivia acts almost as a mother trying to control her children with her solid beats keeping them fixed on the ground.
The deliciously catchy new single 'Bottle Rhythm' is the first offering from their upcoming EP 'Hillrise'. Rhythm section galore. A great bass line and observant lyrics from Ewan talking on striving to be musical superstars such as Thom Yorke and Robert Smith. Plus a chorus that will be in your head for days.
In the style of Daft Punk's 'Around The World', the video for the track has the members depicting the different instruments in the music by pulling silly faces and slapping themselves. It's got a bit of a Brady Bunch vibe too.
I've been completely won over in a day. By knowing nothing about them to adoring their sound. And once again the world of music spoils us with yet another free download (of this track) here. Watch the video below. You can download previous EP 'John Coles Park' here and eventually do the same for 'Hillrise' (out 25th March), which is sure to be a great addition to 2013.
