Brand new double A side single from Envelopes which is the first fruits of the bands collaboration with the legendary Swedish Producer Per Sunding. Their Album 'Here Comes The Wind' will follow later in the year.

Occasionally, a record comes along and hits you right between the sex glands. This is that record.'…Desert' is a rubber band of skewed post-punk pop genius. Like Arcade Fire gone Talking Heads, this has bounce in all the right places plus an uncanny knack for texture. Parts segue in and out in seemingly haphazardly, brimming with off-kilter merriment. Yet underneath there’s a sense of timing here most bands would chew their tits off for.
Add to that a yelping Byrne-esque vocal delivery from Henrik Orrling, some cute vocal tics from the others, and just when you think you’ve got its’s measure Desert goes all gonzo in the middle-eight, like Rick Wakeman killing fairies with a magical synthesizer, before folding neatly into shape for the final furlong, only to find itself rewound and re-played again and again and again and again.
