The phrase ‘instant classic’ gets bandied around more often than is humanly necessary, but when a song sounds as fresh today as it first did well over a year ago after first appearing on the internets, still managing to conjure that same gut wrenching effect – repeated play after play – there’s nothing left to do than just embrace a few hyperbolic adjectives. This video is – like the song – utterly infectious, beautiful and above all, as spellbinding as its creators.
Don’t miss Niki and The Dove next Thursday at The Line Of Best Fit’s ‘Ones To Watch 2012′ show at Hoxton Bar and Kitchen. Full details and ticket info available here.
