Sparks? No.

Queen? No.
Bowie?
Killers?
Martha & the Muffins?
Franz Ferdinand?
Television? No. No. No. No. No.
The Low Miffs and Malcolm Ross? Of course!
Aztec Camera, well only a bit. That bit being the addition of Malcolm Ross, formerly of the Aztecs (as well as
Orange Juice, a band I'd desperately like to forget but keep running into) to
The Low Miffs for a brand new release.
The Low Miffs are a Glasgow band in the same vein as
Franz Ferdinand (who happen to be some of the
Miffs' biggest fans), pop tunesters with a keen ear for unique hooks to blend with familiar sounds and styles. All of that gives you a band that sounds fresh and new, while at the same time sounding for all the world like
Sparks, as they do on "Cressida" or bringing to mind
Queen like on "Dear Josephine". Meanwhile, this
new video showcases the big, bold voice of Leo Condie, all the while echoing
The Killers in sound and style.
