Falmouth-formed Moreish Idols returned with details of their highly anticipated debut album “All In The Game”, out 7th March on Speedy Wunderground. The album follows their recent singles “Pale Blue Dot” and “Slouch” .

Moreish Idols have carved out a unique position for themselves in the burgeoning London scene. Whereas their debut material showcased a restless, jerky, jagged and rhythmically centred sound that bore the influence of energetic post-punk, their second EP showcased an entirely different side to the band. This evolution saw the group stitch together a looser constellation of ideas, combining swooning tremolo guitars, prickly melodic riddles, erudite saxophone improvs, and flexible rhythms, sounding like Watery, Domestic-era Pavement one second and the bucolic Canterbury Scene the next, but always, always like Moreish Idols most of all.

The announcement also saw the band share the album’s lead single “Dream Pixel”. Combining 70s inflected, layered vocals with psych-tinged, Gordian instrumentation that darts and weaves around broken beat rhythms, the track throbs with moments of intense saxophone, distorted guitars, mangled electronics, trembling synths, and reversed vocals, falling apart and piecing itself back together again as it comes to its climax. It’s another valiant testament to the band’s conscious effort to continually challenge their songwriting, told via Dan Carey’s (Speedy Wunderground’s co-founder and in-house producer) explorative creative filter.
