English band The Catenary Wires started out as a duo. Amelia Fletcher and Rob Pursey bonded over a shared love for melodic pop, somethign that is still very much part of their sound nove that they have teamed up with three other like-mindedd musicians to form a full band. Their new single Mirrorball is about feeling awkward during an 80s dance night, with two people checking each other out, not sure how to make the first move. Musically it is throwback to the heyday of the New Romantics, albeit with an indie twist and the warm sound of a Hammond organ acting as a comfy blanket. Nostalgia abounds, while fully realizing that they are not young anymore.
