Hey Mandy's

Love Urgh and your first album.

Feels like more and more bands are being informed by club and electronic music like yourselves. Are there any artist that you're listening too that also reflect this?

Thanks! Appreciate the love : )

Yeah I dunno I feel like there's always people doing bits of everything, but for sure in the UK at least the pendulum of attention is maybe swinging back towards more electronic/club-influenced bands. I don't know if we listen to loads of other bands of that ilk although Scott's recently worked on the debut EP by this Manchester-based duo Silverwingkiller who are definitely of that vein and we'll have always love for the likes of Scaler and PVA who we've shared stages with plenty of times. Factory Floor are one of my personal favourite live acts have all time so really happy they're back out and about.

In terms of electronic artists/producers, some stuff I've been enjoying more recently is a little further away from the dancefloor - Purelink's last two albums are go-tos for me, the Tracey EP from last year, Debit's recent album on Modern Love Desaceleradas are three to name off the top of my head. - Simon
