Today, South London’s Moreish Idols have shared a new single titled “Slouch”. The track follows their recent return with “Pale Blue Dot”, which marked Speedy Wunderground’s 50th 7” single and the band’s first new material since the release of their two critically acclaimed EPs Float and Lock Eyes and Collide, which earned widespread plaudits from the likes of The FADER, NME, CLASH, FLOOD and Stereogum.

Moreish Idols have carved out a unique position for themselves in the burgeoning London scene. Whereas their debut material showcased a restless, jerky, jagged and rhythmically centered sound that bore the influence of energetic post-punk, their second EP showcased an entirely different side to the band. This evolution saw the group stitch together a looser constellation of ideas, combining swooning tremolo guitars, prickly melodic riddles, erudite saxophone improvs, and flexible rhythms, sounding like Watery, Domestic-era Pavement one second and the bucolic Canterbury Scene the next, but always, always like Moreish Idols most of all.
