Lead track from their forthcoming EP, 'Colours' recalls the melodic boombast that Arcade Fire have made their own, bringing back memories of the 2006 vintage of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Cold War Kids with a little of the sunnier side of The Pixies and Pavement thrown in for good measure. The whole EP is wonderful, check it out and buy it here, its out on the 7th Feb.
Manchester band Dutch Uncles are the latest to emerge from a very strong Manchester scene that includes Everything Everything, Delphic, Hurts and Egyptian Hip-Hop. They have that pop end of post-punk feel of a Maximo Park, the lo-fi sentiments of The Research and the playful time signatures and stop-start nature of Hot Club de Paris. The track above, 'Face In' was originally released back in 2008 but they are re-releasing it on the back of their headline national tour on Feb 28th.

Not many tracks manage to achieve true organic growth anymore but 'Go Outside' by Cults has been one of them. Just a glance at blog aggregator the Hype Machine shows that a massive 161 blogs have posted this song steadily since March 2010, and its in the top 100 as I speak a whole 11 months later. Originally a free track it is now getting a full release and deserved attention from Radio 1 and 6Music, out on 11th Feb.
The track itself is a sunny piece of 60s inspired pop, exuberant girl-group vocals laid over a playful little xylophone and as addictive as it is timeless.
