This is low key, it starts like as if you&#8217;re listening to a talkback from a mixing console where the engineer or producer is talking to the artist in the recording booth. This plods along nicely, I like the choice of drums on this it&#8217;s not overpowering. The funny thing is the bassline comes in way later in the song, which takes your focus in that direction, it&#8217;s a lesson in how to get your listener to zoom in at certain points, there&#8217;s a lot here to tease your ears!<\/p>\n<p>On reflection, being a duo consisting of an Englishman who&#8217;s half French, and an Irishman, living in Brighton they probably feel like strangers in a a strange land, but Brighton is a creative nexus so maybe they feel drawn to it. In any case they&#8217;ve got the attention of Lauren Lavern and Emily Pilbeam and their first gig was a secret set at Glastonbury 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Bloody Tourist?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got my eye on you.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time for some indie pop from Brighton&#8217;s &lt;strong&gt;Bloody Tourist&lt;\/strong&gt; who I suspect took their name from a 10cc record &#8211; if so, that&#8217;s a pretty solid reference!
