News of the Manchester gigs follows the recent release of their new EP Happy Days! via Distiller Records. The EP sees the Glaswegian gothic post-punk and electronic-pop group pushing their sound in new directions featuring electronic beats, dream-pop, noise and rich tonality. The EP also seems them taking a more direct approach to the themes, reducing metaphors and imagery.
The band, now featuring Kyalo Searle-Mbullu and Callum Stewart joining Hayden Park-Patterson and Millie Kidd, also push their own voices to the fore. As Hayden explains, “I think we both have grown a lot more into singing in our own accents. I’m not saying we didn’t mean anything we’ve sung before, but I think we’re being truer to ourselves this way. It’s not even a deliberate thing – I didn’t even realise I was doing it until I listened back to the demos.
