Fans of Osees and Dry Cleaning listen up because London band Beige Banquet's new single 'Awake' is an absolute belter. The lead single of their new self title EP (hitting the shelves on the 13th August) is a barbed interaction of fast-paced, Joy Division-esque drum sounds and relentless guitar work. Elevated further by delay-soaked vocals, delivered with an infectious sense of urgency, the disorientation bridge also sees dizzying guest vocals from a friend of the band Rosie Pearce. Taking you on a journey in less than 3 minutes, 'Awake' is a perfectly-formed morsel of manic energy that showcases a lot of potential. Listen here now. -Holly Mullineaux
