London art-pop duo turned band. We often get compared to The Smiths and "Suede meets Pulp"

From the liner notes: 

Coming home from seeing The Tears play at The Astoria in London, February 2005, I was trying to remember how ‘The Lovers’ went and I came up with this on the guitar. I knew it was special and hung onto it for ages waiting for the right person to write the lyrics and vocal melody. I love Danny Gold’s two synth notes that herald the second chorus. - Aug
