Only a week left until the new album 'Rewind The Film' is released, and today sees the appearance of the lovely new single 'Show Me The Wonder', released as a 3 track digital download and two 7" singles, which include exclusive B sides. The video features the band performing live in an old-fashioned pub boasting a South Wales National Union of Miners wall hanging, and also stars Skins actor Craig Roberts.
I was lucky enough to be sent a copy of the album, and ended up publishing only the second ever review.

Below the video for the single you can listen to a Spotify stream of the new B side 'Melancholyme', which echoes the acoustic style of the new LP...
