Here is their first single, Zorbing (hence the above photograph)
Their album, Beachcomber's Windowsill, is a thing of relaxed beauty. They have mastered the art of melancholic lyrics over a jolly melody that makes Duke Special such a great songwriter. My personal favourite is 'Fuel Up', a musical reconsideration of the thoughts going through the head of a 9 year-old in the back of a car. Like I said: like Nizlopi, but better.
You can listen to their entire album on Spotify here.
