Charlotte Hatherely – Behave

Perhaps the catchiest song I’ve heard since the start of the year (close is The Klaxons – “Golden Skans”), the ex-Ash guitarist is distancing herself further from her former band, with the release of the Behave EP and on her own label too.

Behave is an indie-pop wonder, the kind of understated song which reveals its brilliance in the weaving guitar hooks and the spectral chorus. Love it. Thanks to Gav for the heads up.
