"The best music makes the colours start firing in your brain," says Dan Black, "That's what I always aimed for when I was writing these songs." As the kaleidoscopic future-pop of his debut Un proves, he repeatedly hit his target. Seldom has an album twisted so thrillingly through so many styles, nor over-flowed with so much melody and feeling.
Little wonder that Black is being tipped by the world's critics and bloggers as one of 2009's Most Likely To. Nor that Radio 1 have quickly playlisted his first proper single, the driving celebration of desire and loneliness that is Alone.
Watch him light up the Summer Sundae Weekender stage this year with his spectacular live show.
