They are most strikingly comparable in sound to contemporary UK indie acts like Wolf Alice, English Teacher and Honeyglaze, but also draw inspiration from various corners of 20th century guitar music, from ‘60s R&B (The Velvet Underground, The Doors) to late-’70s new wave and post-punk acts (Blondie, Joy Division).
