Dark Captain Light Captain are fresh, young, hip, bangin', phat ... hang on, no. They're not. They're beautiful, dense, textured, slightly scary and constantly engaging, actually. Their Elliott Smith-like delicate psychedelia drips with luxurious energy and a shimmering acid pop feel that re-imagines both Can and The Strawbs for the 21st Century. Tripped-out folk-rock at it's most imaginative, building songs around gentle vocal layers and harmonies, brushed with acoustic guitars, soft rhythmic patterns and discreet electronics in pastoral textures. You'll have already caught them on the airwaves on Radio 1's Rob da Bank and Zane Lowe, Tom Robinson on 6music and Mark Radcliffe (Radio 2). Fresh, young, hip, bangin', phat? Nah, they're going to be around for a while ...
