The album also spawned one of the top remixes of the year in Radio Slave's strung-out re-rub of 'Dead Souls' that featured in many end of year lists. The duo put together a killer four-piece band for memorable live gigs in London and Paris in 2008.
Now the duo are back with 'Left'. Distilling the essence of their debut, the set is condensed into sparkling four-minute pop vignettes.
In December 2009, John Kennedy played album track 'Pale Christmas' as his Xposure Hot One, and on the same day influential blog, RCRD LBL, made the track available as a free download to launch the album campaign. 'Soldiers' will be released as a single in March with remixes courtesy of The Revenge and Loko. Other online pre-release activity includes seeded animated videos, a filmed interview and 'web-cam' renditions of album tracks, and free live tracks from the band's acclaimed debut London showcases.
Still beautifully restrained, yet as playful, groovy and tunefully inspirational as ever, it is great to have them back.
