Arriving With a Flourish

Pennsylvanian four-piece The Districts kicked up a right stink at South by Southwest in 2014, but rather being knocked over by the wave of hype, they knuckled down and cut a deliciously raw and soulful debut album, A Flourish and a Spoil, pitched somewhere between The Black Keys, My Morning Jacket, early Kings of Leon, The Strokes and even The Libertines.

Huw Stephens picked up The Districts early, recording a session with the group last May shortly before they signed to Mississippi indie Fat Possum (who released the session as 12”). Lauren Laverne’s a fan too, and invited the lads back to the ˿ in January to perform another session. Never one to miss a good thing, Steve Lamacq soon anointed them his New Favourite Band and interviewed them on his 6 Music show. They’re exactly the kind of exciting, young band - all four members are under 21 - to have a huge first Glastonbury before going on to much, much bigger things. Watch this space.
