The Sequins - The Death of Style

Long awaited 12 track debut album from the best Best Midlands indie pop band. Formed around the nucleus of Warwick University, the five-piece deliver an album that builds upon the potential shown in their two singles and transgresses that already high watermark.  Sharing a firm lineage with the Postcard and Sarah Records aesthetics, The Sequins draw upon the best jangly guitar pop and artrock to create a signature sound that puts them out of step with the current zeitgeist. Eschewing the contemporary fashion with cold hearted irony, The Sequins aren’t afraid to indulge their playful side or embrace the unfashionable. This is music free of guilty pleasures and full of unabashed joy. Although employing spider-like guitars and dizzying time signatures in equal measure, they never once forget the importance of melody or a good chorus. Recorded in South London in two short sessions, The Death of Style is endearingly lo-fi but sparkles in all the right places, providing a perfect snapshot of the live sound that has brought The Sequins many devoted fans in the past year. Limited to 1000 specially designed album sleeves, each release comes replete with it's own sequins and a front cover which encourages fans to create their own unique designs.
