This is the kind of eerie minimalist dark folk Dark Captain and Astronauts (also Lo acts) specialise in, only Dead Seem Old surprise with a big soul chorus that has a subtle, supple swing and is unexpectedly upbeat. A beefy drum machine kicks in halfway through and takes the song into an altogether different realm. Flipside ‘We Used To See Faces’ shows London songwriter/artist Thom Wicks perusing a more stripped-back sound, the picked acoustic guitar hypnotic and haunting. If these two tracks are in any way representative, it’ll be interesting to hear more from him.
