ALICE COSTELLOE I NEVER DANCE

Accompanying the release of her new EP When It's The Time (out now on Moshi Moshi), Alice Costelloe reminisces on its playful focus track 'I Never Dance'. Recounting a fond and vivd memory of meeting her now partner at a Halloween Party (good timing), 'I Never Dance' is a lighthearted indie-pop gem that floats in a similar realm to TOPS or some of Metronomy's more tender cuts. There's a foggy layer of surealism about the track, perhaps explained by a bout of flu that Costelloe picked up before writing it, as she explains: "That delirium of a fever really reminded me of the feeling of having an intense crush. It made me think back to when I’d first met my partner at a halloween party and we’d danced all night even though both of us are definitely not natural dancers." Alice Costelloe will perform a one-off headline show at Paper Dress Vintage in support of the release. Grab tickets before they're gone. -Holly Mullineaux
