The latest release from James Chapman's critically acclaimed and Mercury Prize nominated album is another stormingly lo-fi affair, having been recorded in his flat on 16-track. His neighbours may not have been happy, but their pain is our gain.

The song itself is a mixture of the Stone Roses crossed with Spiritualized with a big side helping of Sigur Ros. It's also got a vague whiff of '70s to it. Chapman's breathy vocals float over a track that's probably best described as refreshingly 'anti-Fratellis'.

It's not going to storm to the top of the charts, but this is an act to definitely keep an eye on. You may not know her name, but if she's as sexy and well put together as this you're going to want to!
