Please dont hold the fact that Brighton, England power duo Blood Red Shoes are impossibly sexy against them. Guitarist Laura-Mary Carter and drummer Steven Ansell trade off vocals, share ragged harmonies and deliver a love letter to the Clinton years on their latest, Fire Like This. Counting Nirvana, Blur and PJ Harvey among their influences, BRS break down and repackage all things good about the 90s in a sleek yet edgy and contemporary way. Think Frank Black and Kim Deal in a two-person Pixies married to the Ting Tings. Tracks like Light It Up prove they are musically as hot as the promise of their headshots would lead you to believe. With Sky Larkin, Blue Light Curtain. MACHELL DUMA LAVASSAR
