The video for ‘The Drummer’ – the delicious new cut from our Swedes of the moment, Malin and Gustav – just dropped and it’s a stunning visual compression of everything that makes Niki & the Dove such a delicious proposition.
Combining conflict, nature, movement and urgency into a breathtaking 4 minutes, this is but one reason why you need to catch these guys live as soon as humanly possible. They’re on the last few NME Radar tour dates this month – in Newcastle tonight and Glasgow tomorrow then there’s a break before the final date at London’s KOKO on 18 October.
