As soon as summer hits I become a blubbering alcoholic mess who can’t seem to wash his own clothes but can consume more beer than Homer Simpson on a bender. Not something to be proud of but as I’m attempting to settle back into a degree of normality I thought blogging may be just the ticket. • Seoul’s • debut I Became A Shade came out two days ago on Grand Jury and Real June is the perfect tune for the upcoming beleaguered summer days. As I live in Scotland I often need to be reminded that yes, it is in fact June and not November which this song does brilliantly. Upbeat synth and single coil guitars keep this indie pop delight pushing through the ennui of summer boredom.

Highly recommended, gold star.
