Ahead of a frankly monstrous support slot, opening for Queens of the Stone Age across the UK & Europe next month, deviant three-piece deep tan share their playful ode to powerful femmes 'xenomorph queen'. Delivered with good humour and coy sense of confidence, half-sung, half-spoken vocals taunt listeners atop of cutting guitar lines, writhing bass guitar and pounding drums. So good it almost makes you squirm, the unapologetic single sees the trio stepping into their power and celebrating their queerness, explaining: “'xenomorph queen' witnesses the real star of the alien franchise in a new context: in the throes of a lesbian romance. a sensual – but still punk – track about matriarchy, queer parenting and sapphic love, this close encounter offers a new, intergalactic perspective on #hotmilfsinyourarea #xenomilf”. Poised to make quite the impression on those big audiences, we're rooting for this rising London outfit on their inevitable journey to success. -Holly Mullineaux
