South-West London outfit
Slaney Bay have put out a new single,
'That's Cool', which explores the ambiguity at the heart of a close LGBT+ friendship.
Their first new single of the year, the band explain: "'That’s Cool' is about a flirty LGBT+ friendship. The subtle hand brushes that neither of you address. Looking for each other in a crowded room.
"Ears burn red when you hold each other's eye contact for a moment too long... When other friends ask, “Is something happening between you two?” You just laugh it off. ‘That’s Cool’ captures the uncertainty of a tactile female friendship: Are we flirting or are we just friends?"
Comprising
Cait Whitley on vocals,
Joel Martin on bass,
Will Nicola-Thompson on guitar and
Jonny Burraway on drums, the four-piece have built their reputation through a run of EPs including 'A Life Worth Living' and '
The Long Way Home'.
On the live circuit, they have opened for acts such as Coach Party, Bleach Lab, Sinéad O'Brien and The Clockworks, while also selling out a headline show at Colours in London.
