STOP PRESS! (Or the Internet, or whatever it is that needs to be stopped in order to quickly insert a news story)

Noire-pop vampires Modernaire have just this minute sent us their new EP, ‘Velvet Never Dries’. As well as offering slightly-iffy fabric-drying advice, the EP also manages to be very good indeed.

To be honest we meant to say a little bit more about this around the time it came out but we forgot, mainly due to a succession of thoroughly-depressing hangovers. We are not entirely sure if the EP is still available to buy but here would probably be a good place to find out.

We will be saying more about the actual songs on the EP, and explaining to younger viewers what an ’EP’ actually is, very soon.

Hurrah!
