New Band: Grouplove

A band getting a reasonable amount of hype at the moment, Grouplove formed when they were on holiday in Crete and, despite living in a variety of countries, managed eventually to gather and record a debut EP, released in May last year. They've just started a European tour, and are going to be playing a few London shows over the next few weeks, which I'm definitely going to try to get to.

'Colours' is their biggest single, and I've embedded the (overly theatric) video they've released for it. It uses a lot of repetition, which makes it drive along more powerfully and makes in more fun than most of this kind of dancey rhythmic indiepop. The rest of the EP is well worth checking out too.
