The Electric Soft Parade on tour


Following a 6-year hiatus, The Electric Soft Parade returned with what is arguably their best album to date, IDIOTS. They head out for a headline tour after releasing album opener The Sun Never Sets Around Here on 2nd December.

Coming on like the messed-up lovechild of Ric Ocasek and Susanna Hoffs, ESP return once more with a sparkling remix of recent album opener The Sun Never Sets Around Here. 

Already a sleek production, this new version (edited and reworked by the band earlier this month) takes the original up a few gears, adding a spike of urgency to the tempo, piling on the hooks, streamlining the arrangement. If all this sounds superficial and vapid, bear in mind the White brothers have always seen The Radio as the spiritual home for their music, a notion reflected in the near-encyclopedic pop references woven into their studio recordings. As such, The Sun Never Sets Around Here is a welcome addition to their canon; a twisted classic from a parallel universe.

Live dates:
6th December Unitarian Church, Brighton
7th December The Square, Harlow
8th December Eiger Studios, Leeds
9th December Shipping Forecast, Liverpool
10th December Buffalo Bar, Cardiff
11th December Zephyr Lounge, Leamington Spa
12th December Thunderbolt, Bristol
