I have lots of music. Way too much. I was browsing through my itunes and came upon a song that looked familiar. But at the same time it seemed so distant from my memory. I hit play and a rush of lush pop meldodies hit me square in the nose. Holy shit, this song rocks! I really forgot how good it is. I was so thrilled to be reunited with this song that I played it on loop for 30 minutes. Then I figured it was time to share the goods with you guys.
The song is called “Just A Silhouette” by a London band called Exlovers who known how to pen a mighty twee pop tune. “Just A Silhouette” is an absolute delight from start to finish. This song makes me happy. Really happy. Far too happy for a 19 year old male. Basically these guys are like a sunny re-incarnation of Belle & Sebastian. I even hear some Elliot Smith in the vocals (more so on the other songs on their debut EP).
Like I mentioned above, they released their debut EP, You Forget So Easily, last September. It is full of songs just as delightful as “Just A Silhouette” and really put exlovers on the map for one of the bands to watch from the UK for sure!
I had this song for months in my itunes and just discovered it, so there is a good chance you missed out on these guys. Heres your chance to catch on. These guys shouldn’t be missed by any fan of good music.
