Iglu & Hartly
In This City

Mercury

WE SAY

The great synth-pop hooks on Iglu & Hartly's debut single make for an irresistible and very radio-friendly track. We first featured it back in March when the LA band were unsigned. This precedes their debut album, the Mark Needham-produced '& Then Boom', which is out a week later. Added to the R1 upfront list and a Scott Mills Record of the Week, the omens look good. Video. JF London gig: August 14, Proud Galleries NW1
