Six years after the release of their debut album which drew favourable reviews and comparisons to Stereolab and Broadcast from yours truly, the 202s returned last year with ‘Oh My My’.
This month, the trio return with a new four-track EP next week which will feature a Jape remix and will be available from Bandcamp.
‘Up In Thin Air’ is the lead-track from the EP, a slice of harmonica-assisted lilting indie pop music with some brightness to combat the January blues.
A second album is forthcoming from the 202s.
Check back next week for a first listen of the EP.
