The Little Kicks reveal video for ‘Bang The Drum Slowly’!
“could well be one of the next big
indie-pop bands” – Q
"...a super catchy slice of pop..." - The Skinny
Aberdeen’s The Little Kicks return with their immensely uplifting new single, Bang The Drum Slowly, out now via Loosen Up Records and available to buy on iTunes and stream on Spotify.
The video premiered on The Skinny and is now available to stream on The Little Kicks' YouTube channel.
Bang The Drum Slowly is a mightily infectious slice of off-kilter indie pop. It races through with scuzzy hooks, glitchy beats and sweeping harmonies, resulting in a delightfully quirky sound akin to the likes of Hot Hot Heat or OK Go. It's the fourth single to be taken from their latest album, Shake Off Your Troubles. Describing the album, lead singer Steven Milne explains “the themes of the record would be a feeling of happiness, gratitude and to be thankful with what you have and not take things for granted. Furthermore, not to let others get you down or let anyone put you in your place.”
Alternatively, you can now stream Bang The Drum Slowly on the band's Soundcloud page.
Since forming five years ago, The Little Kicks have received critical acclaim from the likes of NME, Q, Clash and The Skinny to name but a few. They have also received support from BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 1, Radio Scotland and XFM as well as Shake Off Your Troubles being nominated for the Scottish Album of the Year Award. Now, having shared stages with acclaimed bands such as The Maccabees, Maximo Park and White Lies, The Little Kicks hope to continue charming listeners further with the unique, vibrant sounds of Bang The Drum Slowly.
