Brighton’s The DuBarrys have been on a roll recently, after unveiling the magnificent first track ‘Undress Your Soul’ from their forthcoming début EP.

SONG OF THE WEEK: Arctic Lake – ‘How Long Can You Stare’
‘How Long Can You Stare’ is the début single from London-based band, Arctic Lake. A masterclass in precision and subtlety.
