Ahead of its March 10 release date, we’re thrilled to be able to offer an exclusive stream of Isle Of Wight duo CHAMPS’ debut album Down Like Gold.
Heralded by Best Fit as “joyous… immediate, incredible folk pop” in our review, brothers Michael and David Champion have created an album that not only pays homage to their peers Arcade Fire, Fleet Foxes, R.E.M and The Flaming Lips but also offers something incredibly new, intimate and beautifully heartfelt.
Down Like Gold is released on March 10 via PIAS. Stream the album in full below and read the Best Fit verdict here.
