Skinny young guitar bands are dime-a-dozen but what sets exlovers apart is some serious talent and support from some of UK’s favorites. [لا يمكنك مشاهدة الرابط يجب عليك التسجيل اولا. ] proves that the singles released earlier this year were not just a stroke of luck.

Its no coincidence then that the new 5 track “You forget so easily” EP , was recorded with Stephen Street (Elliot Smith, Peter Doherty, Blur). Street approached the group after hearing them support Peter Doherty in early 2009. The title track “You Forget So Easily” is a melodic pop tune with a strong Cure-like bassline. While “New Years Day’ seems inspired by Elliott Smith and his talent for creating melody from the darkest of places. I also really enjoy the delicate boy-girl harmonies which have worked so well for notable bands such as [لا يمكنك مشاهدة الرابط يجب عليك التسجيل اولا. ], and [لا يمكنك مشاهدة الرابط يجب عليك التسجيل اولا. ].



From the reviews I have read and intial listens of this band it seems as if they are off to a good start. Cant wait to hear a full length album from these guys. I wont be surprised if these guys hit the Summer Festival circuit pretty hard as well.

check out the video for “You Forget So Easily,” the title track of the band’s recent EP.





I stumbled upon this London based quintet through their cover of Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game. At first thought you might dread the thought of another overplayed cover, but exlover cut an excellent version of the song during their latest demo session.
