Dropping into our inbox is this playful ditty from Edinburgh 5-piece Cancel the Astronauts, who’re just about to set free their second EP, Funny for a Girl. This is fun stuff, but it’s not lightweight; and while there is definitely a sense of whimsy there’s also some more serious and darker undertones to what they’re doing (as in the first EP title, I Am The President Of Your Fan Club (and Last Night I Followed You Home).
“Cancel The Astronauts are a five piece pop band from Edinburgh. They write tunes about stalking and inappropriate lusting and stalking and sexing and stuff, and other songs with guitars in and nice beats you can dance to.”
You can catch the video for “Intervention” along with a number of other Cancel the Astronauts videos over at youtube.
CTA have already picked up an impressive number of support slots (Frightened Rabbit, Marina and the Diamonds), and they’re also going to be providing the theme tune to MTV’s web series Being Victor. Definitely a group to keep an eye on!
