Way back, as a fledgling listener to new digital channel Radio 6, the first brilliant completely “new” record I remember hearing was the stop-start indie venom of I Hate Models by a band called Neils Children. That first listen made the whole expense of a digital radio seem worthwhile!

I bought the criminally under-rated album Change/Return/Success and then apart from a couple of singles they seemed to disappear before (as far as I can tell) returning with a live album and then an odds and sods collection called Visit-Revisit (available from their Bandcamp here).

So a pleasure then to get an e-mail out of the blue with a link to a new video by the band for a track called Trust You, which apparently precedes a proper new album Dimly Lit. And even better, it is a crackerjack of swirling, sixties influenced, lysergic psychedelia and metronomic art rock. Top notch stuff.

Watch it. Listen to it. And this time, buy it when the album comes out (pre-order from their website here).
