The duo solicited the help of pop singer Whinnie Williams on '80s-inspired offering “Killing Me” and the results are stunning.

Not since the union of Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks has a male and female collaboration been so exciting. Reminiscent of Tango in the Night era Fleetwood Mac, the latest song from Crystal Bats has all the hallmarks of a synth-pop banger but with a mature and rounded edge.

Following the release of their 2014 debut “Falling In Love” the boys, in their own words, “took some time out to perfect the snare sound” and a mere three years later were back with “Anyone” a groove-laden ode to love lost.

“Killing Me” is a sonic triumph and one that Crystal Bats can be extremely proud of. Hopefully, this is an indicator of great things to come.

"Killing Me" is out 4 August.
