Something new?

We really like this. No, honestly. If Kate Bush 1) a man, and 2) starting out in 2009 and happened to release an album produced by Empire of the Sun, it would sound like the Sound of Arrows. Particularly their song "Into the Clouds". Blissful lyrics of unstoppable love without sounding like a dad rock band from the 80s, gorgeous layers upon layers of synths (yes we haven't quite gotten sick of synths yet, although we move closer every day), and an undeniably gorgeous music video made by the band themselves. What more could you ask for from a new band? Their artwork, again made by the band, is literally something out of our wildest 80s-unicorn-cloud-ridden dreams; they have Alphabeat, Saint Etienne and The Never Ending Story soundtrack in their MySpace friends and they're Swedish. Explains a lot.

Really quite amazing. Make sure you hang around that video above enough for the big impactual whoosh around 1.16. Oh, and do check out the fantastic Fear of Tigers Remix which boosts and booms the song up to an even higher dancefloor-standard. They're also a bit gay.
