‘Children Of The Hour’ is the playful new tune from indie band Dande And The Lion. Warm textures and rigid rhythms are the order of the day throughout this effortlessly catchy cut, with synths layering glitter into the haze of the rhythm section. “I was sitting in Centennial Park in Sydney waiting to be picked up,” explains Natassa Zoe. “I’d just finished reading a play called ‘The Children’s Hour’ and that kicked off the songwriting process. My ride was late which allowed me to finish the entire song all in one go which was kind of cool.” The Bristol/Sydney-based four-piece are one to watch in 2023. -Dan Peeke
