They’ve supported Bruce Springsteen, played The Great Escape Festival, even bagging themselves a spot of the cover of NME and have just finished playing venues around the country supporting The Last Dinner Party which is rather impressive for a band who only released their first single back in July.

Following on from their debut of ‘Norwegian Wood’ a song the band have implied listeners should “Stream it, watch it, cry to it, scream with it, air guitar your way through the damn thing” have now hit us with ‘Judgement Day’ a love letter which is guaranteed to seduce listeners. In a statement the band said “It’s a love letter. It’s about being swept off your feet by someone you never expected to meet and surrendering to that all-consuming feeling. It’s a dramatic statement that on judgement day, at the end of time, you want to stand hand in hand with your lover.”

Arguably even better than their debut single, the track starts with a slow tempo instrumental luring listeners in and as we’re presented with Katherine Parlour’s raw, gritty vocals we’re seduced into a trap of our own making but it is so satisfying that we simply submit. It’s interesting to see this band present something slightly different to ‘Norwegian Wood’ in the respect their latest single has lyrics filled with passion and emotion, especially in the chorus ‘You look so divine like death in a lightning strike / Holy water drips down on me / And it tastes just like holy wine / How can I stay on my feet?’ paired with this intense, fiery delivery leave us begging and pleading for more.

Likewise, the breakdown section where these powerful guitars are played to create an electricity sound backed by the pounding beat of the drums transports listeners into an extraordinary atmosphere. It’s so clear through this track that their main influences include ‘Humbug’-era Arctic Monkeys and early St. Vincent. The single was produced by multi-award winning producer Catherine Marks who has worked with the likes of Wolf Alice, The Killers and Foals.

The band have two dates left to play this year including Pitchfork Festival and Great Escape First Fifty. Their next show in 2024 is alongside Black Honey and Kynsy at Leeds Beckett’s Student Union on 9th of February.
