London-based Babeshadow return with their new single 'Lonely Morning', out on July 29 as a digital download.
Having started out as two childhood friends who honed their craft busking across the streets of Europe, the duo of Tom Cawte and David Thornley have come a long way since they took their band name from a T-Rex track ahead of a chance support slot with Pete Doherty.
Following the release of their debut EP ‘Sea Serpents’ on LuvLuvLuv Records, Babeshadow played at Glastonbury, supporting Mystery Jets, The Drums and Florence + The Machine (with Florence Welch publically praising their “open-hearted calypso-style beautiful pop songs”), performing BBC radio sessions for Rob Da Bank and Steve Lamacq, and headlining their own UK and Italian tours.
The duo have since spent the last year in their homemade recording studio in East London, writing and recording for their full length debut, whilst also fitting in a string of live dates and a support tour with Crystal Fighters.
‘Lonely Morning’ is the first track taken from those sessions and immediately picks up on the duo’s signature style of bright, upbeat and cheerful harmonies, capturing the laid-back, melodic collages that have come from a lifetime’s friendship and experiences.
The band have the following live dates set up, with a full UK tour to be announced later in the year.
July 05 LEICESTERSHIRE – Lubstock Festival
July 06 LONDON – Purple Turtle
July 20 SHEFFIELD – Tramlines Festival
July 27 SOMERSET – Farmfest
Aug 09 LONDON – The Finsbury
Sep 27 GREAT MALVERN – Re-con
