The title track from the Mancunian band's second album, Cadenza is a mystical little thing. Leaping from place to place on a bouncy piano riff, there's an elusive, meandering quality to it; almost as if it was some magical little firefly.
As the guitar kicks in there's touches of Two Door Cinema Club to the track and the vocals certainly reflect said band too. Both share that same knack for penning sprightly, modern indie-pop tracks that aren't willing to simply do things by the numbers for a cheap shot at success.
Hailing from Manchester, we can't ignore the immense legacy Dutch Uncles find themselves following in the footsteps of. Madchester, that great idol-like explosion that spawned forth so many wonderful classics twenty years ago.
Sweeping out of that proud city, these early innovators changed the British musical landscape forever with their fusion of guitars and dance heritage - so it's immensely heartening to see Dutch Uncles following this same ethic all these years on.
Cadenza is out now.
