Wild Beasts? In Rainbows-era Radiohead? There’s a myriad of influences at work here, but to these ears at least the roots of this stunning debut single from Leeds based four-piece Fun Adults lie a little further back: John Martyn perhaps, or even the early ’70s, proto-Prince styling’s of Shuggie Otis (who, coincidentally and unbelievably, played his first ever UK gig this week, at the Jazz Cafe). Check out the equally impressive self-made animated video above.
