I’ve been meaning to write about Manchester’s Ménage à Trois for a while, but the stunning video for new track White Noise has finally given me the kick up the backside I needed. Consisting of vocalist Jonathan Flanders, Craig Langton and Wu Lyf’s Joseph Manning, they’ve managed to create a sound that is both playful and heartbreaking.

White Noise demonstrates an ability to surprise too, with its Daft Punk’esque electronica, especially since the last track they released was a cover of UB40, which truly showcased Jonathan’s Hutchcraftian vocals to their full devastating effect. Treasure this band, because its not often these days that great pop music arises from a non-manufactured place. Me? I’m declaring my love now.
