One of the joys of 6 Music Fest is that it gives us the opportunity to bring lots of our favourite bands into one room to watch as they translate the records we love to the stage. That鈥檚 certainly the case with Outfit, ranking high in our list of 2013 discoveries, the Liverpool quintet are set for one hell of a year. Marc Riley was first up to book a session back in June, and it wasn鈥檛 long before Lauren had invited them in and the art-rockers were dropping guest mixes for Tom Ravenscroft.
The self-proclaimed 鈥渋ndependent Beyonc茅鈥檚 at heart鈥� make the effort to stand out from the crowd. Debut album Performance has been 3 years in the making, recorded across 3 locations as the group made an 鈥渆ndless search for something that might not exist鈥�. Guitarist Nicholas Hunt describes the hard work as a 鈥渄esire to sound both iconic and ambiguous鈥�.
All that endeavour paid off, singles Two Islands and Thank God I Was Playing made the 6 Music playlist in 2013, while a burgeoning fan base started banging on the doors of Double Denim for news on an album release. By 6 Music Fest we鈥檒l have 3 months of listening under our belts. We鈥檙e counting the days until we can see it live.
