Scanners - New Double A-Side


http://www.scannersmusic.co.uk/ // London four-piece Scanners are due to release their second LP 'Submarine' in March, we've been treated to a lovely introduction in the form of double A-Side single 'Salvation / Baby Blue' which is released on Feb 28th. It is quite delicious.

"Salvation" a mysterious dark, brooding affair that recalls a gothic PJ Harvey with some sinister lyrics about dragging a lover to a grave. The eerie melody, progressively aggressive drum beats and rousing "woah" chants combine to make the track a real stand-out . The flip side is "Baby Blue" a candy sweet indie pop masterpiece. With it's upbeat melodies, delicious vocals and twinkling glistening guitars it give a real 60's pop feel. One of my favourite tracks of the year so far, if only the weather was matching the happy, summery feeling it gives. One for the BBQ parties in the summer.

A sure fire gem if tightly crafted indie music is your thing, part rock, part pop, fully addictive, see for yourself:
