Every year for the last three, I’ve been a judge of Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent competition. It’s a bit of a music gauntlet, to listen to 140 or so various songs and make notes about them, then choose your top three. Each of the judges’ top three have been announced by the festival now and one of my three (along with Zaska and LSBV) is Surrey’s Princess Slayer.
The duo have a debut EP coming out called Living in April, and ‘Passion Alley’ is an 8-bit video game-inspired piece of bright pop music, much like Kero Kero Bonita. Check out the new video:
