What the label says:

SWAN LAKE’ IS THE THIRD SINGLE FROM THOMAS TANTRUM, THE FEMALE FRONTED FOUR PIECE FROM SOUTHAMPTON WHO ARE ONE OF 2008’S MOST EXCITING AND INTRIGUING NEW BANDS. IT’S A GLORIOUS AND BRILLIANTLY QUIRKY SLICE OF INDIE POWER POP. COMPLEX, URGENT ARRANGEMENTS AND TEMPO CHANGES, SINGER MEGAN THOMAS’S CHILDLIKE, SHOUTY VOCALS, AND A SLIGHTLY DEMENTED REWORKING OF SWAN LAKE ALL MAKE FOR A TRULY ORIGINAL AND EXCITING MUSICAL PROPOSITION.

THEIR LAST TWO SINGLES MET WITH RAVE REVIEWS AND LOVE FROM TASTEMAKERS SUCH AS STEVE LAMACQ AND JOHN KENNEDY, AND IN FACT ‘SHAKE IT, SHAKE IT’ WAS 6 MUSIC’S SINGLE OF THE WEEK AND WAS EVENTUALLY ADDED TO THE PLAYLIST.

HAVING MADE WAVES LAST YEAR WITH A SERIES OF SPELL BINDING LIVE SHOWS, THOMAS TANTRUM HAVE DRAWN MUSICAL COMPARISONS AS DIVERSE AS COCTEAU TWINS, YEAH YEAH YEAH’S, PJ HARVEY AND SONIC YOUTH. THEY WILL BE SEEN ON TOUR AGAIN IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH, WITH THE FOLLOWING HEADLINE SHOWS AND FUTUREHEADS
