Years & Years
We have a huge music crush on these three kings.
Years & Years is back with the video for ‘King’. It’s another song from the trio about the pain of love, but their first video with impressive dance moves (it was choreographed by Ryan Heffington, who also choreographed SIA‘s ‘Chandelier’)
It’s hard to work out how they do it, but with just one listen of ‘King’, we are already belting it out of the car window, the office, the gym, anywhere really…

Years & Years – Desire
It may be getting colder outside, but the temperature has risen in the Indietronica office since the first play of new track ‘Desire’ by Years & Years.
The 90’s house-inspired track retains the distinctive claps we frequently hear from Years & Years, whilst taking on more of a modern, Clean Bandit vibe.
The boys have recently finished supporting SOHN and MØ and are due to support Clean Bandit and Sam Smith on their UK and European tours.
After the success of The Magician‘s ‘Sunlight’ which featured Olly on vocals, we believe that ‘Desire’ is the tune that will make Years & Years. It is out on 23 November.
Sounds like: Clean Bandit, Cloud Boat, Yes Cadets, Citizens!, How to Dress Well, Lxury, Bondax, SOHN, Flume, Phoenix, All We Are, Ellie Goulding, Jungle, Sam Smith

Years & Years
London based rising stars Years & Years present the video for their latest track, ‘Traps’.
‘Traps’ commences with an elongated synth as dramatically sounding as something taken from Mogwai’s soundtrack for ‘The Returned’, but the beat soon loosens up as frontman and actor Olly Alexander tenderly recites ‘will you lay a trap for me?’.
The video initially lures us into a bit of a depressing setting, but soon drives the watcher into a world of synth pop and illuminous triangles. This is a true electronic love song.
The band’s second EP, also entitled ‘Traps’, was written during the band’s recent retreat to a remote cabin on a secluded Sussex seafront, and follows on from the debut EP ‘I Wish I Knew’ which was suitably released a year ago.
‘Traps’ is out 9 September on Kitsuné.
Sounds like: Cloud Boat, Yes Cadets, Citizens!
