Under Her Sails

We say

We just totally fell in love with this magnificent song from Malpas within seconds of hearing it. It’s the debut single from songwriter Ali Forbes and producer Andy Savours, who’s worked with acts like Sigur Rós, My Bloody Valentine and The Horrors. Back in 2013, they won praise from tastemakers blogs The 405, The Line Of Best Fit, Music Ninja and Indie Shuffle for their EP Promises. Lead track Charlemagne picked up plays at 6 Music and Amazing Radio. Meanwhile, they’ve created a cut-n-paste sound collage here, powered along by a glockenspiel-hook that’s reminiscent of Gotye’s worldwide multi-million selling hit Somebody That I Used To Know, beautifully layered with the feel of Weezer’s triumphant Island In The Sun and filtered through Turin Brakes, all recorded in an attic in the Kings Heath area of Birmingham. They're live at Sebright Arms in London tonight (April 20) and we’re promised a debut album in July. From something that started off as an experimental project for them, they’ve delivered something with true global appeal. Oh, and that chorus is unstoppable.
