Moreish Idols sign to Speedy Wunderground, drop new track 'Speedboat'
"That’s when I knew: I wanted to be a postman in Venice."
Speedy Wunderground have announced the signing of a new act, Moreish Idols.
The band arrive with their first release for the label, 'Speedboat', of which frontman Jude Lilley explains: "When I was about 18 I stopped off in Venice with some friends after a festival. One hot afternoon in our grubby clothes, we managed to find a place doing pizza slices and beer for a couple of euros. Hidden away from the intimidatingly glamorous tourists we sat on a jetty and tucked into our newly purchased treats. As we were chatting away over our lunch, we were interrupted by a thumping kick drum echoing through the canal. The kick grew louder and louder until a white speedboat drifted at full speed into our view and pulled up to the jetty. EDM blasted from the boat, as a slick, well built man in wrap around shades and a red polo shirt inspected his vast pile of parcels. He bent down, grabbed a stack and hopped off the boat. After making the drop at the house behind us, he hopped back into the motor and shot off into the canals. That’s when I knew: I wanted to be a postman in Venice."
Produced by the label's Dan Carey, you can check out 'Speedboat' below.
