North London indie poppers keep it local on their new EP…<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

GIFTHORSE <\/strong>have shared their new EP \u2018Queens Of Highgate\u2019.<\/p>\n
The band hail from North London, and reference points from their locality litter their lyric sheets. Recently shooting a live session in Waterlow Park \u2013 close to the famed bust of Karl Marx which sits atop his grave \u2013 it\u2019s safe to say they write about what they know.<\/p>\n
Cute indie pop hymns that are unafraid to linger on the noise aspects of the guitar spectrum, GIFTHORSE blend everything from Spector-esque girl group melodies to shoegaze heaven, with the odd crunching punk power chord for good measure.<\/p>\n
Out now, \u2018Queens Of Highgate\u2019 is an excellent listen \u2013 teasing their undoubted potential, the prodigal outfit tap into their passion for melody while never simply replicating the past.<\/p>\n
Stamping their identity on each song, the EP builds up into something that is succinct, yet also fully formed.<\/p>\n
Tune in now.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
