The Little Ones - Lovers Who Uncover

The Little Ones hail from LA and, not wishing to buck the trend, have come up with as West Coast an offering as you're likely to have heard this year. 'Lovers Who Uncover' evokes Arcade Fire plying their trade under the California sun, perhaps on the beach - there's harmony aplenty and enough jangly guitar to last a lifetime. B-side 'Cha Cha Cha' is as catchy as its flipside and that's before the singalong 'la-las' have even come in. Sweet. [Jon Seller]
