Bleep

London guitar quintet Laurel Collective drop their debut album on Tape Club, for whom they’ve recently organised some stonking club nights. ‘Heartbeat Underground’ quickly demonstrates what’s made national radio bigwigs hype this band so much: happy, shrieking harmonies and jangle pop on ‘Fax of Death’; Alt J-style groaning and riffs (and 8-bit bass) on ‘They Hate Me’ and ‘60s psychedelic rock hooks on the Bowie-esque ‘Sunshine Buddy’. Meet the soundtrack to the next five years’ worth of beach-set adverts!
