Leicester brothers Andy and James Stone are also a dark-pop duo called Lusts, an outfit that’s already offering some very exciting sounds at the outset of their career. We’ve already given you the premiere of their debut single, “Temptation”, and it’s a doozy with a strong Echo and The Bunnymen feel .These brothers aren’t afraid to waggle their overt ’80s influences under our noses. New Order, Joy Division and even Spandau Ballet are nodded to, but while Lusts sound like a band steeped in the sounds of 30 years yonder, they don’t sound like they’re doppelgängering any particular act. They’re like hidden gems, a newfound relic of a generation lost.
AA-side single “Temptation”/”Cross” will not be released until early march on 1965 Records .
