Looking for some power-pop to perk you up before the weekend's debauchery? Look no further than the Hazey Janes, whose laid-back summertime vibe should really see them hailing from across the Atlantic, rather than the slightly less sunny climes of Dundee.
So it makes perfect sense that they decamped to New Jersey to record forthcoming album Hands Around the City, teaming up with Sonic Youth producer John Agnello. Their single New York - which was released on Monday - merrily blazes along with such momentum that I can only hope their amiable attempts to lay claim to a place in your record collection succeed with similar swiftness of pace.
