The Hours 'Narcissus Road'

They might be friends of Damien Hirst but indie duo The Hours are not a couple of pretentious twats with more style than substance... Instead, the boys make beautiful orchestral pop tunes, with spiky lyrics and their debut album 'Narcissus Road' is a revelation...
Incessantly catchy single 'Ali In The Jungle' opens the album, but the best tracks are the title track, the stunning 'Dive In', the spiky 'I Need To Know', the heart-breakingly beautiful 'I Miss You' , the atmospheric 'People Say' and 'Love You More' with it's clever lyrics.
Definitely ones to watch out for - even if that album cover is seriously freaky...
The Hours' 'Narcissus Road' is due to be released on February 5.
