WE SAY

We've known about this extraordinary, enchanting record for a while and we're delighted that it's now out – on Zenith Publishing's new record label. It's the very definition of a one-off, although if we were them, we'd be hurriedly putting together a Rollo Dusted-style concept album to accompany it. Is it a hit? Maybe, with the right sync – it's certainly a perfectly-formed track that you hear once and can't ignore or forget. This weird little masterpiece has a growing army of devoted fans.
