London/Bristol synthpop outfit BOA are debuting sparkly new single "Pharaoh" on Best Fit.
"Pharaoh" follows previous singles "Holier" and "Right Place Right Time" in showing off BOA's serpentine synth sounds. It's emotionally wrought pop with enormous amounts of heart and slicky, dreamy electro undergrowth - draped with thick velvet bass and criminally addictive hooks, "Pharaoh" is a stunning achievement. Guitars flicker, beats pop... when that chorus hits, you're dragged into a new world - and you won't want to leave.
