Two bands from two different parts of the world have joined forces to give you the next free single in our digital singles series at EardrumsPop. The Very Most from Boise, Idaho, and The Hermit Crabs from Glasgow, Scotland, have collaborated under their project Baffin Island to make a new single for your listening pleasure.

Baffin Island is the exact midpoint on the map between their homes in Boise and Glasgow and their musical style can also be seen as a midpoint between the two bands music: they combine the densely-layered indie pop of The Very Most with the more stripped down, thoughtful folky sound of The Hermit Crabs. The result is as sweet as you’d expect with healthy doses of Phil Spector, handclaps, delicate vocals, and lots and lots of reverb.

Try the excellent lead track You Invited Me below and if you like it (you will), you can download the 3 track single for free on EardrumsPop’s website, complete with music, lovely cover-art made by Sathya Ranjana and a booklet with photos, interviews and additional information.
