LISTEN: Standish/Carlyon

Former Devastations men unleash some serious smooth in new project

Quietus film editor Mat Colegate is currently pouring himself a Campari and loosening his top button… lady readers, it’s Valentine’s Day, and he’s a man alone. Yep, there can be no other reason for his louche yet sensitive soul to be stirred than the fact we’re playing the ace new tune by former Devastations men Conrad Standish and Tom Carlyon. ‘Nono/Yoyo’ – we’re hearing Gayngs, pop Scritti, say and a hint of yacht and some pubic lute – is a killer piece of the sort of smooth we just love round here at tQHQ. The track is taken from their forthcoming debut LP Deleted Scenes, released on May 14th on felte and can be listened to on Soundcloud below:
