exlovers have announced they will be releasing their new 5-track EP ‘You Forget So Easily‘ on 14 September 2009 through Chess Club Records (Boy Crisis, Mumford and Sons, White Lies). The EP will be released on specially created 103 vinyl with beautiful artwork, maintaining the band’s impeccably high-standard. ‘You Forget So Easily’ was recorded with Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur, Peter Doherty), who approached the band after seeing them supporting Peter Doherty at Shepherds Bush Empire for an NME Awards show.
The new EP shows exlovers’ developing their own brand of indie-pop, laden with close boy-girl harmonies throughout. From the wistful delicacy of ‘The Moon Has Spoken’, to the jangly indie-pop of title-track ‘You Forget So Easily’ and dream-pop of single ‘Just A Silhouette’; and from the more intimate, Elliot Smith-esque vocals on ‘New Years Day’, to the racing pulse of ‘Incomplete’; the songs all feature exlovers’ inherent style of combining sweetly sombre lyrical musings with lo-fi guitars, ever-developing vocal harmonies and subtle instrumental discord to stunning effect
