HARLEM (US, Matador) @ Head Of Steam, June 14th

I can't think of any better way to spend a summer's evening than in front of Harlem live.

These fantastic new Matador signings play a kind of grungey garage rock with the warmth of a 10pm beachside sunset and the sweetness of a pair of ice cream cones.

And so infectious! tunes like "Gay Human Bones" and "South Of France", with sparse materials: a guitar, a drum kit, some singing, a bass, will incurably bury themselves in your mind like some jungle dwelling monkey Tick. So deep that no doctor in the western world could ever remove. I'm speaking as the chronically infected here.
