Dancing years are from Leeds, and we wouldn’t be surprised if everyone thinks they’re cool by the end of the week. This is their debut single, released today on local label Hide & Seek.
‘Here’s to my old friends’ has all the trappings of a glorious indie anthem: richly layered instrumentation, clear yet fragile lyrics, and a video of one of the most moving football matches we’ve ever seen (and football’s not high up on the priority list at FFS).
