Liverpudlian band Outfit are incredibly hard to find on the internet. Not even the power of Google can rustle up a website or even wiki page. But hopefully a listen to this song will encourage you to seek them out, live or otherwise and what I can’t tell you of the band I can tell you of this memorising track ‘Two Islands’ (best found at the moment on YouTube).
At just over 6 minutes long it uses this time to build from drums and noises from a very early episode of Dr Who into a driven beat of a twinkling piano hook and atmospheric tale of loneliness.
I’m sure the way I’m describing it you would imagine something quite dark, but the vocals, tambourine and cymbal lead drums keep it light and dare it say it, summery.

Guitar solos weave their way in and out of the verses and chorus’ to the point where there seems to be no traditional verse, bridge, chorus set up. This isn’t a bad thing. It purely adds to the escapism of its entirety.
The single is released in September, I’d love to tell you of an upcoming album but even research hasn’t provided me with any more details. So enjoy the mystery, it seems quite a unique way of marketing a band these days but who knows, if the rest of their stuff if this good - perhaps it’ll sell itself.
