Two Brighton bands in one day? That’s because this weekend is The Great Escape festival in the seaside town and the bands flocking to, and from there, are putting out music to convince the fans and industry to see them.
IYES, and their new song ‘Toys’ is a pretty convincing argument in that regard: a swooning R&B electronic pop duet in which the pair throw all their toys out of their pram (that’s explains why they look defiantly sullen up there maybe?).
