A while ago we featured a song from the excellent debut EP by The Cutaway, an alt-indie folk band from south London.

Escapists is the name of a new side project featuring two members of the band. They have played a few live shows and have just finished recording their debut EP. We’ve listened to a couple of demos (especially the naggingly catchy Burial) and have been rather taken with them so have put them up here for your listening pleasure together with the original Cutaway track we featured. Contrast, compare, and enjoy.
