London based sisters 2:54 release their new single ‘You’re Early’ ön April 9th on Fiction.They play a headline London show at the Scala on June 7th.
The ‘Scarlet’ EP, released last autumn, saw London based sisters, 2:54 cast their spell over critics and audiences alike with their storm-cloud of a sound, both menacing and beautiful, eerie and bewitching. After sold out headline shows in 2011, Colette and Hannah Thurlow are readying their next single ‘You’re Early’, braced for release on Fiction this spring. ‘You’re Early’ is a tightly coiled spring of primal energy, hypnotic melody and hushed obsession. While the track showcases their now signature unique melding of rock and punk influences, it also reveals an entrancing and groove-driven side to the band that lends itself to the darker side of r’n’b. Avowed fans and fellow journeymen, Wild Beasts tackle the remix, the band’s first and only reworking since notoriously taking on Lady Gaga’s, ‘You and I’ last year. The results for ‘You’re Early’ are as strikingly beautiful as you might expect. Following a highly-anticipated UK tour this April, with special guest support from Los Angeles doom-folk princess Chelsea Wolfe and UK dreamers, Deaf Club, the band have announced their biggest ever headline show to date at London’s legendary Scala venue on June 7th. Before that though, they’ll be heading Stateside this March for their first extensive US tour, splicing an explosive stint at Austin, Texas’ South By Southwest festival with both East and West coast runs. It’s all just another taster of what’s to come from 2:54, and one of the many reasons to look forward to their debut album, set for release later this year.
