The debut single proper from these London gloom-merchants. Frontman Charlie Drinkwater channels the spirit of many an ’80s new romantic crooner, in fine fashion – the new Tony Hadley anyone? Sky Blue & Ivory is released July 23 on new label Fractions of One . Catch Torches at the Old Queen’s Head, June 14 and White Heat (Madame Jo Jo’s), June 23.
