The best tracks of the week

4. Skelocrats – ‘Lyin’ Eyes’

A new Belle & Sebastian-style indie-pop thrill from the Popical Islanders.

The Popical Island band Skelocrats will return with a new album. The band, made up of Land Lovers’ Padraig Cooney, Grand Pocket Orchestra’s Bronwyn Murphy-White and Paddy Hanna, Groom’s Michael Stevens will release an album Bella Bella in March and the excellent ‘Lyin’ Eyes’ is a Belle And Sebastian-style indie track that suggests the band have something great on the way.
