Official Secrets Act
The Girl From The BBC

One Little Indian

WE SAY

Taken from their forthcoming debut album ‘Understanding Electricity’, out on One Little Indian in March, this is the second single from Official Secrets Act. Previous single 'So Tomorrow' was a Zane Lowe Record of the Week on R1 and coincided with great press in NME, Artrocker and Clash, amongst others. Steve Lamacq called them "the most lyrically erudite band I've heard in a while". They are hip and literate, but also maintain accessibility with smart tracks like this. A highlight from a strong debut album. JF London gig: February 20, Koko NW1
