ELDER ISLAND – SINGLE REVIEW

Elder Island – Don’t Lose 
Elder Island - Don't Lose

Release Date: Out Now

Well, hello Elder Island, come on in. The new-to-me Bristol trio have a wonderfully languid style that is impossible to resist and new single ‘Don’t Lose’ shows this off beautifully from the get-go. Imagine, if you will, Beth Ditto singing at about 40% ferocity and trying to keep it down so she doesn’t wake the neighbours at 3.00am. Then imagine a chilled Lack of Afro-esque lounge groove that owes a tip of the cap to the likes of Morcheeba and Zero 7. Put those two imaginings together and you’ve got yourself a louche and sultry party tune that is as much Martini cocktails as it is silk shirts. Gorgeous.
