Get People // Away

We blogged about Get People a while back as some of our local faves, and the guys were back this week with this dreamily tropical cut from their forthcoming Rain Tears EP. A great track in itself and tailor made for remixes, Away shows a somewhat poppier side to Get People than previous tracks and one that promises much for the rest of the EP.

Fixers // Amsterdam

Oxfordshire's Fixers are probably the first thing to come up if you typed "Positive dreamy" or "How I would most like to wake up" into Google. Or maybe "What would it sound like if 'Smile' era Brian Wilson recorded Simple Minds' Don't You?".

Amsterdam is a beautiful, expansive track, and the filmic video only adds to it's wonder. The band will be alongside fellow No Action favourites Get People and Cheatahs at Young and Lost Club's Christmas do in a few weeks, and watch for more dates in what is likely to be a big 2011 for them.

Local favourites // Get People

Get People have been on the radar for a bit but, in an unusual move for a new, unsigned act, seem almost determined to fly under it, cloaking themselves in mystery and playing no shows save for a few DJ sets.

Delivering the sort of tropical electronica Friendly Fires hinted at with post album single Kiss of Life, only perhaps with a more explicit use of pan-pipes and bongos, the band's sound is complex yet invitingly warm, making their self-imposed absence from the spotlight all the more intriguing. Apparently live shows will arrive in September. Till then you'll have to make do with the below.
