London indie outfit This Is The Deep make wonderfully eccentric but catchy music.
The Best is Yet to Come (Part 1) is a mini-album that plays at 45 RPM, whose eight songs mingle quirky post-punk dub-funk with something altogether poppier and frothier. They are unafraid of utilising quirky sound effects and stylings that, in others hands, might lead to a kitsch novelty factor, but in theirs the results range from outright pop to the skronk-punk-jazz abstraction of “Eyes on You” to a weird slowie to vaguely Talking Head-ish moments to the cinematic exotica of the title cut. Uncategorizable and brilliant, keep your eyes and ears attuned for more from on this lot.
