Read MoreCocoa Futures premiere new track ‘Bee’ on Clash and announce EP launch show
Lost In The Manor aces Cocoa Futures have unveiled new track ‘Bee’, a bright electro-edged indie follow up to ‘The Blue’, and another from their ‘The Blue’ EP, out on 2 December. Clash magazine were first in line to share the tune, calling it “an acerbic, offbeat pop jammer”, and we’re inclined to agree. The band will be launching the EP with a gig at the Sebright Arms in east London on Saturday 3 December.
