Outfit have the potential to be a very good band. Their early triple-punch of ‘Every Night…’, ‘Vehicles’, and the excellent ‘Two Islands’ demonstrated a group of songwriters with fantastically broad reference points. One moment they sounded like early Genesis, the next like a tunefully glum Aztec Camera.
Now, surprise new single ‘Dashing In Passing’ could be the work of an entirely different band. With vocals that sound like an (even more) unhinged Prince, and bass so claustrophobically heavy it threatens to suffocate the track altogether, it is evidence the Outfit’s horizons are even wider than they had let on.
‘Dashing In Passing’ is out now on The Sounds Of Sweet Nothing – who were also responsible for yesterday’s Song Of The Day, from the excellent Yoofs.
