London-based electronic duo Small Hours is the refreshing new collaboration between Alex Mills and Alex Patten. With Mills having worked with Basement Jaxx and Tricky and Patten’s background as a multi-instrumentalist and singer for brooding project Fine Print & Michael Kiwnanukah, their musical histories are varied and versatile. 
Their debut single ’Shoe Box’, out 26th March 2018, is a softly glowing and moody left field pop track that shines a light on their combined accomplishments. The single’s slick, pared down production is complemented by Mills' honeyed vocals – the song details the vulnerability that comes with exposing your heart to a lover, preferring to retreat to a safe place when at the mercy of another.  The band name, inspired by singer song-writer John Martyn and the post-night out haze of an after party, aligns with their deeply rhythmic, languorous sound.
This release follows on from a successful tour supporting Elder Island and was written alongside Marc Pell of the renowned Micachu & The Shapes (now known as Good Sad Happy Bad). ‘Shoe Box’ is a distinctively self-assured debut paving the way for what is sure to be a colossal year for the talented duo.

Alex Mills and Alex Patten are the exhilarating duo Small Hours. Formed in the elasticated moments of a post-rave epiphany, they explore the state between hypnosis and conscious-thought, uninterrupted by the everyday pressures of ego and stress. Their left-of-center electronic-pop incorporates bass music, skeletal guitar riffs, alt-RNB, and irresistible honeyed vocals.

Small Hours' music comes developed from many years of both Alex's working with the industry’s top acts, from Tricky and Basement Jaxx (Mills) to Fine Print and Michael Kiwanuka (Patten). 

After a triumphant tour supporting Elder Island in early 2018, Small Hours released "minimalist alt-pop wonder" (The Line Of Best Fit Song Of The Day) debut single 'Shoe Box', written with Marc Pell of Micachu & The Shapes, which swiftly gained over 300,000 streams on Spotify.
 
With three EPs in the making, Small Hours are set to make an impact in 2019, taking listeners on a journey from deep reverie to existential euphoria and back again.
