Nightmares
Band Of Skulls
Electric Blues Recordings/Ignition Records
WE SAY
Taken from the forthcoming third album Himalayan, this is the sound of the trio truly coming of age. Band Of Skulls has already had their music synced worldwide on dozens of cult TV shows and commercials (including Netflix, YSL and Game Of Thrones all still to come), but this track takes things to the next level in terms of their mainstream profile and quite simply sounds like a massive anthem; confident, euphoric and big enough to fill the most-mega stadium in the world. The bold production comes from Nick Launay, who's worked with the likes of Arcade Fire, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Nick Cave's Grinderman. However, we can imagine it's a thing of beauty when it's stripped back and played acoustically too: something you can experience when they're joined by a string quartet, no less, for a show at Madame Jojo's in London on February 27. Then there's dates across the UK at the end of March, taking in Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester, Nottingham and two nights at London's Shepherds Bush Empire on March 27 and 28. Quite simply, this deserves to be regarded as one of the songs of the year.
