ALUNAGEORGE TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE ON APRIL 22ND/DEBUT ALBUM JULY 8TH
Since the release of ‘Your Drums, Your Love’,
AlunaGeorge have rapidly established themselves as one of the UK’s brightest
prospects. The London duo’s latest offering has arrived in the form of
‘Attracting Flies’, available now on iTunes, via
Island Records. Amidst a flurry of hyped shows and putting the
finishing touches to their highly anticipated debut album Body Music, due on July
8th, the duo have been picking up fans left, right and centre.
Alongside their own incredible achievements AlunaGeorge’s recent collaboration
with Disclosure on ‘White Noise’ quickly racked up over a million plays online
and reached number two in the UK charts. Also nominated for the prestigious BRITs
Critic’s Choice Award, another accolade to add to their number two spot in BBC’s
Sound of 2013 poll, and their achievement of being the UK’s most blogged about
artist at the close of 2012. AlunaGeorge recently played
yet another sold out show, at London’s XOYO, and only a handful of tickets to
their biggest London headline show to date, at Electric Brixton on 20th June
remain. Single ‘Attracting Flies’ packs a lot into
three minutes. An incredibly infectious riff starts the track off before it
plunges into George’s trademark thick, clipped beats and synth parts, complemented by Aluna’s honeyed confrontational vocals, as she pulls apart an
unwanted tagger on – “Your invitation’s a fake / Must be from a ticket tout.”
The slowed-down UK garage style chorus feels as good as it should and drops
easily back into that riff before the stripped back middle eight hammers home
Aluna’s sweet-sounding dismissive lyrics – “Why would I care if you want me?” Esteemed director Emil Nava provides the music
video taking us through an urban fairytale. Click HERE to view the video.
Remixes include Billboard Hot100 viral
sensation Baauer and LuckyMe’s S-Type and more.
